I have chassis 903 and worked with Jay just over 2 years ago on the specs to build my chassis. While I did not opt for the blackout of all the bright work, I did end up with a number of the options that are packaged as the B edition. What was important to me was....

Wildwood brakes
LSD (3.64) rear
Solid diff mounts
Solid motor mounts
Adjustable rear camber arms
Larger aluminum radiator

And Jay recommended a few other things including the 3M paint protection for the rear. Which I am glad he pushed me in that direction now.

As with my build, I wanted something different as I prepared for a challenge installing a 4.6 Terminator. There certainly is a level of complexity that is not associated with traditional push rod carburated engines. Electronics, fuel delivery and the various sensors and computer to run these modern powerplants can be mind boggling at first. But in the end, good planning and engineering will pay dividends down the road.

Taking just about 2 years to complete, I am extremely pleased with my decision and choice of powerplant. While it does not have the rumble of a big block....it certainly helps having boost on tap.

Hope this helps.
