New diff mounted to subframe

Check out the new cover. I'm ready to run the 24 hours of Lemans.

I don't know anything about your car... did you gut the 320 to get to 2000 lbs or are they that light?

The 80 to 83's were 2400 (2396) from the factory. I put a racing fiberglass hood and trunk in, removed all the bumpers and brackets, removed the sunroof and mechanisims, gutted the interior, Momo FIA seats(no adjusters), cut out every bit of bracketry and removed the asphalt soundproofing. Replaced most of the bolts with titanium and aluminium including the engine (my side business). Aluminium flywheel, 31 inch driveshaft, no PS, No A/C, small altenator. Aluminium calipers all around, 3 peice alumium wheels with titanium and aluminium bolts, titanium wheel studs aluminium lug nuts.
Front to rear weights are at least 50/50 but might have a little rear bias with my fat *** in the car.

That is slick looking setup.

Can you post some pics of your car? I would like to check it out.

I followed the link you provided; however those images are dead.

The car is much more developed than this but these are the latest pics I have. I'll be posting more to my photobucket album here:
