Default Custom Motah Swap. 56K is gay, mmkay?

What's crackin HMT? I joined because I have dreams of boosting this car once I get it running. But until then, I'll just post pics of the fabrication work I've done to get this D16A1 engine mounted into my 1978 Honda Civic Hatchback. I'll try to limit the material here to just the pics that show the fabrication aspect of building my custom motor mounts. Here goes with the pics. All comments welcomed.

The last pics are of the new rear mount, since the first prototype flexes too much. I figure the hockey pucks should be solid

This build has been postponed since I'm in the process of buying a house, but once I get moved in, this project will be my #1 priority.

Everything looks pretty good except that driver side engine mount looks kinda flimsy. Maybe it's just the pics but what gauge sheet metal is that cause it just looks pretty thin. Maybe just box it together.
