looks great! hope those motor mounts are strong...the clearance on the firewall looks really tight
evilbill   +1y

the mounts seem to be rock solid ...time will tell, the firewall is ridic close to the bell housing but it doesnt hit at all

nice build i keep my eye on it
bigbeardedbastard   +1y

are they solid motor mounts or rubber or poly?? i'd just be concerned with torque flex binding the bell housing against the firewall......something with give either the sheet metal or the aluminum bell housing....just hate to see you get stranded with a hefty repair bill. not to mention the sound of the drivetrain echoing through the firewall because it makes contact.
