Now I have to focus on the engine. I am currently talking to Keith Craft, Barry at Survival, and Brent about the engine package... not an easy decision at all. Looking for all aluminum (Pond block), with 450-500 hp (not too much), EFI with stacks. Should be nice.

No, 'sub-strap' means a 5-point harness complete-not just the 4 straps. The cam-loc latch is fine but you need one that accepts 5 belts. Just tell David you want a 5-point installed and he'll know. Much safer and as stated, prevents the uppers and lap from riding up when you snug them.
Now just a bit more opinion that you didn't ask for:
The three builders you're dealing with are excellent-take your pick. However a Pond block and EFI ($$$ by itself) are
very expensive for just 500HP. All three can build 150
MORE horsepower with just those parts even without race-quality internals. Just saying it's not a good value unless you want large displacement and then the modest power is a poor result. All three can build an iron block 445 that makes 500HP (on 5 cylinders probably) for a
fraction of the price of the parts you're contemplating.
It's your money-do as you like. Just thought you might not be aware of cost vs output. The 'romance' of those parts might cost you needlessly.
Your choices for the chassis and running gear were very well considered and spent by contrast.
