I have attached some information from EPI - Basically seems negative about the V8 concept from a weight perspective. $5,000 seems like a lot for a motor mount -
I also contacted Vestas V8 and asked if he had any experience with Murphy aircraft - Apparently he has one or two under contract. He has a firewall forward setup that he quoted at $28,500 including the cowling, psru, radiators, computers, mount - mostly everything - He will not sell the motor mount separately.

Britt:
Before committing to an LS2 / gearbox instead of the M14P for your Murphy Super Rebel - 3500, I suggest you consider, in some depth, the information presented at the following links:
http://www.epi-eng.com/CNV-Intro.htm
http://www.epi-eng.com/CNV-Primary.htm
and especially http://www.epi-eng.com/CNV-Evaluation.htm
.......Price and availability on a motor mount.......
Price is time + materials. Typical is in the $5,000 range for a one-of-a-kind. I'd need detailed, accurate drawings of the firewall, cowlings, and the supporting fuselage structure to which the mount attaches, as well as your specification on the longitudinal placement of the powerplant. If my analysis showed that the fuselage structure is insufficient for the loads, I would decline to go further and charge you only for time already spent.
..... and a Mark 15?
Castings are in process. Availability probably late this year, in view of current orders. Price depends on ratio; [b]targeting[/b] $8500. Don't know for sure until finished parts are in hand.
Sincerely,
