As far as the ppf, do you guys think I'll actually feel a loss in "character" of the car without it? I will be doing some racing with it on the side, but it'll be my dd otherwise.

It still had the stock mounts hangin up on the subframe, but there will be no need to cut the hood. Motor mount locations are very close, so that should be a piece of cake.
Now maybe you Guys can help me out with this one; I af one point saw a photo of a diff "hanger" since there will be no ppf.. I believe it was a fe3 swap thread. I just need to look at that pic again.
Anyways, updates soon

My boner went soft when I saw the abomination you are swapping that motor into.
I truly hope you pull it later and swap it into something that doesn't look like its a heap of **** or at least re-paint the whole car including bay and "clean" it up a bunch.
Otherwise good progress

The engine is now sitting in it's final location, and everything clears very well, including the hood. I am simply using shims under the oilpan to simulate the necissary clearance. There is also nothing protruding below the subframe, which is great, and my shifter still sits in it's original hole, just an inch back.
Next step is the motor, tranny, and diff mounts!

FYI, I love flat black. My motorcycle is ALL flat black.
Another FYI, I've stayed away from a flat black interior or engine bay because of heat absorbent reasons. If you're not planning on tracking it or you're not in a terribly hot climate, you probably don't have to worry about it. But keep it in mind.
