if you have decednt fab skills. you can get rid of the sub frame completely. use tubing (square or round) welded or bolted to the frame to mount the engine and the steering rack. Then make some flanges to weld to the frame for the suspension. Its really not all that hard when you get down to it... plus the weight savings would be huge depending on material of choice.
