Today I was able to purchase some heavy duty engine mounts with 4 built in rubber engine vibration stoppers that fit the Triumph Chassis perfectly. My plan is to use these as templates and get some lighter weight aluminum mounts machined up. These mounts were being used on a reefer unit and can be found relatively easy. My goal was to find mounts that will isolate the diesel engines vibrations better than the original Centurions motor mounts which are simply Triumph Spitfire mounts flipped and repurposed.

I also found a low profile oil pan that I am going to purchase which will reduce the engine height by a solid 3 inches. It is aluminum and also was used for reefers.

Post updated with some pics of the mounts although these mounts are not cleaned up yet these pics give you some solid visuals of the mounting strategy.
