I did have to cut up some supports in the tunnel. I'm not a commercial vendor on this site so I don't know how they'd feel about me advertising our swap package... but if you want to PM me I'll tell you what you need to know.

Have you guys created a kit or was this just a one off?

Official weight is 3040lbs. Only a gain of 240lbs over stock.

Now where is that 240lbs of extra weight located? Was it primarily engine or tranny weight?

What is the weight distribution of the car, now?

most manual trans I've changes are pretty light, that t56 is pretty damn heavy, I'd say most of it is the extra weight came from that tranny
