How were the 365 GT4, 400i and 412 engines mounted in the chassis?

Do these engines have similar engine mountings to the earlier 12 cylinder engines with 4 projecting feet extending from the side of the cylinder block or mounted in another way? Also are there any mounting points at the front and back of the engine that affix to the front firewall/bulkhead and front of the chassis? Thanks in advance for any replies.

 

Fantastic, Paul. Thanks for your reply. I was hoping you'd see my question. My next question was going to be if these engines could be used as a stressed member. You must be psychic ha! These engines aren't really suitable to use in a P4 replica using the P4 chassis plans then due to the very fact that the P4 engine has mounting points on the cylinder heads that affix to the firewal/bulkhead tubes, 2 each side of the cylinder block and at the back of the engine as the engine is designed to be part of the chassis bringing strength to the structure.

 

I was actually wondering how they overcame this problem when RM Wilson Engineering built the P4 replica that is said to have used the P4 plans to make their much publicised car using the 365 GT4 2+2 (or 400) engine as the way the engine is mounted is critical in bringing strength to the structure. They used a ZF box I believe. Perhaps they just used thicker tubing at the back?

Here is the car: R M Wilson Engineering

 

I see. Yes, it would be good to see how the engine is actually mounted. The P3 and P4 chassis had thinner tubes than earlier cars and used the engine as part of the structure so if the P4 chassis blueprints were to be used, a suitable engine designed to be a stressed member with mounting points in the critical areas would have to be used. Otherwise the required strength won't be achieved I'd have thought. Thanks again for your replies.
