Olddog has a valid point. But a severely broken motor mount and a displaced engine could have the same effect whether the carb linkage is a rod setup or cable setup (dependent on how the cable is routed).
Older classic cars often suffer from motor mount problems, age deterioration and the "unsafe" design of the motor mounts pre 70's.
My Cobra, and I'm sure most modern build reproductions, have near solid motor mounts or the "safer" new designs. So a motor mount failure is not a high risk.
That said when I complete my efi project, I will probably mount the Cobra cross linkage to the firewall and cable it from there.
Cheers
