I made a solid mount that I welded to the stock motor mount plates.

Hopefully bolting my new Subaru up soon... Should I run motor mounts ( I was guessing YES) ??? If so do they need to be anything special or just solid mounts that come off the frame??? Thanks. |

My bellhousing is mounted top ears and bottom, no motor mounts. No problems for 8 yrs. |

Some folk use motor mounts, some don't. I didn't on my last build and I'm thinking on using them on this build. I didn't have any problems not having them, just cheep insurance. All it needs to be is a solid mount if everything is solid mounted. |

I supported the wishbone to the frame at the ends near the engine..was fine for the 4 cylinder..when I went to a 6 banger I made some motor mounts at the factory location on the suby,,kinda hanger style. |

Run a pair to the rear half cage on ours, we cracked a bellhousing back on the old VW so not risking it with the rotary. |

That looks easy enough. I am using all four mounting points on my bellhousing as well so I don't think it will go anywhere. Thanks for the suggestions. |
