Thank you Schraddel, although I give Doctor Wayne credit for the engineering that I'm replicating.
I continued with mounting the F-7 chassis in the car tonight, adding a mounting point to the front of the car:

I cut the plastic "U" to fit the frame and that will be glued to the inside of the car when the time comes. I used some small screws that I salvaged out of some piece of electronic equipment, probably a printer, to mount it.

I also drilled some mounting holes in the back, through the fuel tank.

After that I placed the truck and frame into the car, and mocked up the motor and possible flywheel. I found the motor on ebay, 5 for 5$. I has and extra long shaft that may allow me to use the original Athearn flywheel.
