I will use dse leafs that came in my minitub kit. I will use the quadralink sway bar and I will fab custom mounts to bolt it on the diff. Im not sure that it will help on handling but I prefer to remove it than install it when the floor will be painted

I don't think you'll be able to use half height subframe bushings with that tunnel piece. I tried using it on my car which has half height subframe bushings. It wouldn't fit my already modified tunnel which I kind of expected. However, I ended up cutting way further forward towards the firewall to get the floor to clear the transmission in the end. Had Holley's piece fit my floor, I would have had to modify it further. It's a good looking piece for sure.

I have regular solid bushing. I see some guys running it without problems with hooker crossmember and mounts

I used that same trans tunnel metal part. Full bushings and no issues. its close on front part of tunnel you do not cut. do not think half heights would clear like said previously.
clean job on that btw. getting it to fit flush and all is a little work.
What are you going to use as top plate?

I will use a billet boot ring directly on the tunnel with a sheet of 18ga to fill the hole. All bolted with rivnuts to keep access to the top of the transmission. I will do that in a week or two
