Chose a Golf mk1 lower mount, because a Polo mount is attached from above, while this means I can support from below with an M10 locking nut and a sloped support piece.

 

Needed a bit of chopping to fit. 

The distance from front to back is also shorter than with a Polo lower mount.

Which will help keep weight inside the stand's wheels.

 

Wheels are 62cm apart. But wheel bars are about 75 cm, so it should be stable if I can get center of gravity just right, which should be okay suspended from a tiny crane. The engine is inclined, but intake manifold and carbs should be flat and level.

Got a farm water pump. It ran off an 18.5kW/25hp electric motor at 2900rpm.

 

Just the small matters of the water flanges, mounting it for the plumbing and a shaft to pulley drive conversion with a tensioning mechanism. One drive shaft option is V belt driving centrifugal clutch on a 1" keyway shaft with a bearing.
