Default cheapest way to mount engine? (friction)

whats the easiest way to do a friction setup?


i have no access to any tools like welder's, metal benders.

what i do have is an assortment of wrenches, screw driver's, ratchet's, socket's, and a brill with a few drill bit's.

help me out ive been searching and searching all day today.
i cant find anything that doesn't need any specialty tool's.

if you know where i can find an easy set up for a noob like myself please help me out.

i will be putting this on a mountain bike, then saving for a beach cruiser and swapping it over if possible or just start from scratch for my next bike.

Deacon may be along shortly to help out with this, so for now, I'll bump it up.
