why change something that works?

I have my 280hp subaru just hanging from the four studs in the adapter, has worked so far.

The engine is only producing radial torque, it wants to twist around the crank.

Its the trans thats moving up and down from the torque from the driveshafts.
Just bolt your trans properly in and you'll be fine!
And a "cup-stag"

Subaru engines don't originally hang off the transaxles nor were they designed to. They also weigh a bit more than the air cooled. This being said, mine is just hanging off the transaxle. Members on some other forums disagree with the hanging method since some have seen cracked frame horns, however most of these were in off road situations as far as I know so they have a vertical shockload causing an increase in bending moment in the frame horns.
