A couple of questions I I
I looked through the FAQ section here and didn't see the answers, so I've got a few about the sa/fb cars.
I've been told there is a 8.8" kit to upgrade the rear, and I know those will hold the torque I'm looking at, but are there any other budget oriented options I should consider to handle 400+ lb ft?
How wide is the engine bay in these(need to figure out which turbo manifold I could use)
I have already been told you can flip the factory cross member to gain oil pan clearance, but will the FC subframe allow for the same clearance?
Can FC hubs, knuckles and brakes be adapted to a sa/fb?
I think those pretty much cover my ponderings of the evening.

You created your own Frequently asked question if you do NOT state what series of car that you want to do all this work to.

You'd have to re-do the steering rack mounts, chassis mounting points, suspension mounts. Basically everything that makes it a subframe. The FB subframe can do it because it uses a steering box and body-mounted linkages.
Also, grannysspeedshop has a lot of info about big power solutions.

Edit: Thank you rxspeed, that was helpful for starting it all out. I'm looking at F2T powering a sa/fb, so most of the power stuff is already taken care of. I'll have to end up asking more specialized questions later down the road pertaining to the FC suspension adaptation.
