I'm still working on the stress analysis but so far it doesn't look like it'll fail anyone soon even if it vibrates at 10khz so should be good. I've got the plastic for both parts of the adapter and the metal for the big piece of the adapter. Hopefully have the plastic adapter done next weekend.

I removed the radiator support so it'll be easier to put the engine in. Tried fitting the engine in and iIt should fit if I put the radiator where the AC condenser use to be and put the oil cooler between the frame where the bumper should be. I've got to completely remove the box that the AC evaporator was in ao that I have room for the exhaust. Hopefully I'll be able to keep heat. The motor mounts on the frame and the engine almost line up which'll be very helpful.
