HRE's are pricey, but you get what you pay for.
As for drivetrain in my car, I'm currently running a built up 350 motor. Plans for a fuel injected LS motor are in the future, after I recover from this round of upgrades. lol. I'm running a blow-proof bell housing with a Centerforce clutch, transmission is a Tremec TKO600 5-speed and the rear is a narrowed Moser 9" with 3:89 gears. Of coarse the rear suspension is now a Detroit Speed Quadralink with adjustable coilovers. Front suspension is the Detroit Speed Hydroformed subframe with tubular A-Arms, C6 vette spindles and adjustable coilovers.
Here's a shot from before I put the motor in... Good shot of the DSE subframe
