i may do mount straps inside of those fittings - eventually. prob start with just the alignment tabs initially though. it's been off the road for damn near a year, so i wanna get this thing moving and soon!
edit: you could prob get away with a couple gussets on each tab for added strength. course, that'd take a lot longer than the straps but prob look nicer.

i noticed last night looking my cell over that the vent/return fittings are right in the way of where i'd like to run a hold down strap (to align with the alignment tabs). i've got the same cell as you in black, with a sump.

TO be honest I do not think it is a big concern, you see hundreds of cars with them just held in by the tabs.

My mustang went 9.51@147 with a crappy 60 foot on 14 psi/pump gas and a stock bottom end 6.0 .... this car will be looking for LOW LOW 9s ... Street car I drive everywhere!
Here is a few videos of it in action, keep in mind our average DA here is about 3000 ft at LEAST!

Got the K member installed just waiting on Struts/Coil over to finish the front end.
Also hoping to get a mock up engine set in the car so I can determine what intake I am going to use.... I would like to use the edelbrock proflo XT if it will fit under my hood.
