Since I'll be having a new bar bent (see, that's where the $200 will go lol) the only requirement for me is that the mounts be low enough to provide clearance for the IC piping to the stock twins. Some of the hood supports will probably end up being cut out as well.

Why fabricate an entirely new sway bar costing hundreds of dollars and probably go through two or three iterations before it's right when all you have to do is build a small spacer to drop the bar down slightly?

That trans sucks, and if you're using the 20B twins, you're stuck using the factory ECU or running them non-sequential. Eitherway the ratios in the TII box blow canadian moose cock. If I were to do a 20B I would rock the RX8 box and move the bitch back 3.625".

Something else to think about would be a custom AL oil pan fab'ed from some 1/4" AL, would also serve to stiffen the block slightly.

Lastly, not to sound like a dick, but this sounds like a really low buck 20B build. Low buck 20B don't belong together.
