Quote: i think a strap is always necessary whenever your not worried about the looks of the engine compartment. this is my design and its hidden pretty well by the battery and tray. now obviously it doesn't work with power steering but gives you an idea. I don't like mounting off the boss on the front of block as it "could" cause distortion in that cylinder, both of these cars have stock rubber mounts. been like this for 5-6 years now and no trouble
