Re: Eliminate draft tube options
Only if the torque on launch dictates the need. That same motormount setup worked in two ton trucks coming out of fields well overloaded in compound low with engines putting out all the torque they could muster without failures. At least I never heard of them failing. Leaking oil compromising the rubber was normally the reason for failure. At least every one I seen that was bad was oil soaked. That isn't likely to happen on that engine.

Re: Eliminate draft tube options
Considering the quality of new parts these days, anything could happen.

Re: Eliminate draft tube options
It doesn't take much effort or $ to install a chain to keep the engine from torqueing over too much and that is old school tech. You just leave enough slack so that the chain stops it from moving too far but still lets it move normally.
