I’m worried about drive axle angle. It looks pretty severe, I know the LS swaps struggle with even the slightest angle, the axles fail. Is the angle as bad as it looks?

While I’m armchair quarterbacking I’m also a little worried about the transmission support you’re using. It looks like you’re using the rear muffler mount on the transmission to support the transmission / back half of the engine. The mount it’s self looks great but those aluminum posts on the transmission that hold up the exhaust are very weak. They commonly break holding just the muffler. I would think under a launch the weight of the transmission and engine along with the torque of the engine trying to rotate would easily snap the aluminum posts.
