Moved the trans out of the way and popped in the aluminum Isuzu driveshaft. It fits without rubbing the heat shield, ppf, or any other component. Things are working out as planned which is very nice.
Now to get the driveshaft shortened, finish off the ppf and complete the trans and engine mounts.

Not sure if your still around with this, but you need to weld in cross bars between those tubes to trinangulate the loads. It has to bending a lot without them. In fact it needs a 3rd bar to form a triangle with the cross bars to be a proper PPF. It also needs to mount rigid instead of that pivot bushing to function correctly.

Don't forget the diff is mounted in the car on a couple of pivot style bushings.
Since my pff doesn't attach directly to the transmission I had to put in a rigid cross member that the ppf and transmission both mount to.
I'll get some pics uploaded soon.

Cool. People don't realize how much time and effort goes into an actual build. My JZ FC took 2 years to get perfect exactly everything how I wanted it and my LS FC after that took 6 months which is a really basic swap. These things just take time but you really feel accomplished when you get it done.
That being said, the ls fc is the last swap I'll do; running out of youth and time.

I wish I could devote more time and money into this project on a daily basis, but I'm making progress when I'm able to at least. It's a big learning experience for me having to fabricate, or design something to be fabricated when I can't find a part to serve the purpose. But it does feel great to build something to solve an issue so I can move onto the next thing. At least now I'm at a point where it feels like any progress I make now is significant and puts me that much closer to driving it.
