i was thinking about using some structural pipe and 4 link knuckle ends to make motor mounts like they have in mintruckin a couple times. problem is ive seen it be done to that 4 cylinder toyota, not a v8. im not looking to make a high horsepower motor so i want to know if it will still be ok?

Itll be fine as long as u have good pentetrated welds there really isnt as much pressure as u would think on the mounts. Once u have the 2 mounts on engine and the tranny mount its a pretty solid setup.
