The short answer is Yes. The engine mount I
build is called an S-beam
(Schertz Beam) mount. The concept was first
developed by Bill Schertz
and was modified by Paul Lamar and others until it
evolved into the
present configuration. The S-beam mount only
supports the front of the
engine. The rear engine support is provided by a
adjustable strut
that runs from "someplace" on the back of the
engine to "someplace" on
the firewall.
I guess which is
the “front” of the engine is a relative term. I conclude it primarily
supports the flywheel end. It appears structurally very sound, but I wonder
why there are struts along the engine bulkhead between the support
points. Those would only be needed if the bulkhead (or structure between
the attach points) was not structurally sound.
