You can get an adapter plate that bolts to the case to give the provision for the rear mount.
Long term reliability of this setup is dubious imo. A three point mount case is what you need.

Hey Bernie

its prob a bug block
most 1600 bug motors have the bosses there just not drilled and tapped
can be done easy enough

Hey bushed
I'm currently working on a few project cars (mine and others). Too many details right now!!!
Can probably source an adapter mount for u, or u could try vintage or classic, either should be able to help.
Feel free to give me a call 0408 704 662.

tried Micks ..is h closed for hols??

any offers cosidered on this engine as I am not too keen to use the adaptor
anyone know how good they are ?
I reckon a gearbox strap would help maybe??

did i mention linebored case...
