Lots of ideas

A lighter engine would probably give you more power to weight ratio and not require such a heavy undercarriage. Something to think about.

Oh...which one are you going to drive the twins around in?

See that, right back on topic LOL!

You mentioned 99-03 ups...they're not bellowed but I do believe that I have a set out of an 03 in the garage that you can have for shipping costs. I figure you'd have to be pretty pressed for $$ to use them but if you are, you can have em. Pipes and collector.
