Default My fabricated engine mount. Critique it

Soooo, I am fabricating an engine mount (cause mine was ripped out from too much vtec). Here is my first mock up. What do you think of the design? Please tell me how I can improve on this. And any suggestions to get it at the correct height so the engine sits properly?

Me neither, I'd like to check it out though.

Maybe upload to imgur and post up the link (or embed)?

Tacked in place, going to take it off, weld the rear T, drill the hole, then weld it in. I am also going to add gussets on the front and back and put a plate on top.

you need to give it bracing on the side of the frame. i cant tell from the picture but it looks like you have two flats of steel running straight across to the top of the frame. you need a contact point on the bottom, both sides of the mount.

yep, you need support from the bottom. It will drop off/break the weld if you hit the hole on the road.
