One forward and one back should work! I would try to keep them parallel and on the same plane so there is no triangulation happening as the motor needs to freely move up and down and side to side on the rubber mounts. Just suck it and see. I would look at some of that tube with the internal thread, or make some if you have a lathe. Bolt one end to the bell housing and put a spherical rod end on the other. It maybe easier to make two.
