How is the engine/gearbox assembly mounted to the tub?

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

This is a nice image of how the Cosworth DFV 90 degree V8 was mounted to the chassis, Lotus 92;

A fixed mounting at the bottom and two flexible "blades" at 90 degree to take up the thermal xpansion.
