Will the motor mounts alone support the Coyote in the bare chassis or will I needed to provide additional support? I just want to drop the engine in and install the new headers.

Yes, mounts will support the engine (my Coyote was well balanced on the frame mounts) - you will need to attach the engine mounts to the engine block, drop the engine in and secure the frame/engine mount bolts. Be very careful that the chains are properly secured to the engine and that the bolts used to secure the chains to your engine block are large enough so there is no way they can slip through the chain loops. This happened to me and it was not fun (I was alone and no one got hurt when the engine swung free from one of the lift mount bolts).
