For the amount of engines produced there have been a hell of a lot of publicised failures, do the maths against something considered unreliable for example the F4R (we know its not but is stereotyped as unreliable...cause reno) but I'd bet the % of engine failures against engines produced the...
If I could go back I would have bought a 172cup over my 182 FF, mainly due to the amount of ABS issues I've had, as well as how rubbish the ABS is when actually working.
As above you'll be needing subframes and side mounts. To bolt the subframe to the car you'll be needing some high tensile fully threaded bolts and either use the old nuts or get some niloc nuts with collars. I used m8x60 8.8 tensile fully threaded screw from screwfix, you'll need strong washers...

I just used the below brackets, I fixed one to the bolt at the back of the subframe hand brake side, and one between my cage and OE seat belt mount. You would only need one though as you can use an eye bolt for the OE belt point by the drivers door, you'll need an m10 eye bolt with longest tread...
