Gene going wild with the digital camera!
Here's a photo of the engine stabilizer I made for the 4AD engine out of Volvo anti-sway bar links and bushings. The original stabilizer setup is useless. Hopefully this stronger setup will lead to prolonged front engine mount life.

4AD stabilizer
Mark:
Yes, I made a boomerang shaped piece of 1/8 sheet steel and picked up the 2 bolts on the starter as mounting points. I used a piece of tubing and welded nuts on each end to fit the Volvo 240 sway bar links. I did have to weld a bracket on the frame to pick up the other end of the link. It does make the engine quite vibration free.
