It's a shame you can't run on one to even see if you want the bracket....Some don't like them, some are all for it for various reasons..... I will say that if you were to do it you have a very light compact motor in mind, and that is a big factor. I'd love to get a nice 175 of that same block at a decent price..I'm sure if you've been searching posts you can see all the opinions, discussion, modifications...For me the good far out weigh the bad. I have a simple setup with a fairly light motor and no tabs and I love it.
