well i have a mountain bike, and i have squashed it into the frame..
everything is in there so tight im pretty sure it will be fine, but is it good for it?
i mean i cant even knock the engine out with my foot, its held on tightly at the back and the engine is hammered down into the V shape of the bike so it would lock in..

Your foot isn't the same as continuous vibration and road shock. Do not try to run the bike with the front mount not installed. The fasteners on the rear mount will be the first to go followed by other parts and pieces. Install the engine correctly or if it doesn't fit look for another bike that will lend itself better to motorizing.

I concur... Do NOT run it without a good solid front mount!! (& a solid rear mount too! )

If you aren't going to mount it... make sure you have a buddy with movie camera and post one of those "Hey watch this" movie.
