I'm suprised Jon didn't set you straight on weight 
savings.......ggggg.......FRONT   needs MORE weight.....REAR  needs lightening!

You're obviously using a VW Beetle pan?    Drill the Torsion 
housing......it's heavy......

Use a 0.060"  sheet aluminum  cut to sandwich between the bellhousing / 
Engine  to support it....no rear mounting!

Are you IRS  or SwingAXLE?   Either way.....swingplates /Control arms can be 
drilled..

Car should be fun!   Everyone I know that's built one has enjoyed it....
