ugh.

That "engine mount" looks like a stress induced weld failure waiting to happen- all the engine torque is going to be applied against those 2 vertical welds where the side pieces connect to the cradle piece that goes under the balancer. Not good.

There is a reason racing style bulkhead engine mounts are always machined out of a solid piece of steel.

The bellhousing does not look familiar to me.... very interesting
