cool project.
i'm not sure what you've done for engine / transaxle mounts... but you should really reinforce them well. same goes for the welds that keep the core-support in the car. if you intend to drive the car at all with the amount of power that will now be there,.. bad things could easily happen.
good stuff. the lower tie bar will help,.. where the poly mounts will make the potential for stress higher. my old 16v rabbit cracked all of the welds holding the core-support to the car, while another dudes g60 rabbit tore the subframe right out of the car (both were on the track a fair amount).
if you're seam welding everything, i'd take the time to reinforce the engine mounts as well (especially with the uprated poly stuff you're installing).
good luck with the rest of the build. looks like fun.
