Nice, too bad none of these seem to ever get fully finished. Weight won't be an issue i would think but it would be easy to weigh the front and the rear when finished to find out.

transmission? going with the rb25 trans that came with it
subframe? surprisingly the motor sits on this subframe like it belongs there.
steering actuator? the electronic steering rack had to be replaced cause it wouldnt clear. i think the shops going with a camaro steering rack.
fueling? walbro 255
electronics? working on that right now haha
oem guages? just throwing some basic gauges in there not too worried about the stock gauges.

waiting for a balance rack for the differential but from there i believe another 2 months and she'll be alive.

I guess if it's a track car it makes sense. But no traction control and I'm not sure how an 8 will handle with a camaro steering rack.
