Vex - did you consider taking it to a tig shop to have the mounting tabs added on? You could do this and still spend less than the Ron Davis. Its what I plan to do with my Afco

You can of course use rubber mounting points as well in this setup... there are a few decent TIG shops in VA.

220F is nothing.
The motor will tolerate 220F - 230F no problem.
My car used to regularly hit 225F, as I was using the stock thermo switch as a trigger.
(The stock thermo switch is supposed to switch at a 207F spec, but my SPI water temp gauge said it didn't trigger till 225F.)
We've had our race car hit 250F - beat that! - and it still held together on the track.
Not that I recommend doing this...
