Next year EM will have a minimum weight of 1700 pounds with the

combo.

 Running EM why not just build a tube frame and use light weight formula car 
suspension on it. Don't know if you have seen Warren Lavec (SP) cars, his 
Corvair Fiat 850 or his new shortly 64 Corvair roadster, both run EM and are 
using 
a formula car frame. That should save you a half or more of what your looking 
for.
