I was jumping on the engine at one point with only the trans and that driver's brackets installed. It is solid. Trans mount is fluxcored, the driver's was merely tacked at that point. The driver's and two of the other mounts are decent quality MIG work, the rear mount was Thermal Arc 185 TIG hotness (literal hotness, it kept bursting into flames), the fluxcore nightmare has a few MIG beads a la CSAddict to shore it up, and one of the OE mount fits in a... very... interesting... manner.
Deck is level to the chassis, the mounts are stouter than the NW's, and after Frederic's CV axle alignment pep talk I feel good about drivetrain alignment and position.
Sleep now, I just got home, work tonight. Will verbally abuse all you asshats... later.

I think the fumes were from me using the torch inside the car to remove all 3lbs of sound deading material.

My only worry about the NE car at this point is if someone dies in it. It's got that deathtrap feel to it.
Tuning it will be fun, also... do you have decent dyno rates, or are we street tuning it before it is loaded on a dyno? :P
