Word of advice....ditch the plastic intake manifold. Those things warp and leak over time, plus they don't look nearly as cool as an aluminum intake 8)

I would gusset those engine mounts... constant twisting torque may loosen the welds. I could be wrong but I have seen more elaborate mounts break over time.
