Looks pretty good. I don't know anything about your background, so don't take any of this the wrong way, such as doubting your knowledge.
TH400 over a 'Glide? ? ? Don't get me wrong, I use a 400 with some combinations, like heavy cars with big cubes, tons of spray and plenty of tire....but a featherweight with a high winding turbo 4 banger? ? ? ? I'd be afraid to sling the guts out of a 400 if I turned it up to 12,000+rpms. What kind of trap speeds are you shooting for? Are you licensed?

I know these may be stupid questions because the car is still pretty far from done and you probably have a handle on all of this, but you do have a set of scales, right? By the looks of the links, you haven't started roughing in your instant center. Do you know what you're shooting for? Hard hitting wheelies, or low smooth power wheelies? I see the lower diagonal out back, but I don't see an anti-roll bar. With a soft spring rate I wouldn't be suprised to see the DS reaching for the sky when you come off of the 'brake @ 10,000+rpms. Until the last few years I never used them. Now that I do use them, I'll never go back to not using them, they WORK. Some people love them, some people have no use for them. Whatever works for you.... I can't really tell from the angle of the pics, but how's the bump steer going to be? A set of wheelie bars and a 'chute mount and you'll be ready to put up the welding machine for the most part. With all that tire, are you going to set it up on the 'bars and go for the gusto, or are you planning on bracket racing the car? Was there enough room up front for the fuel system?
I love home built cars. Put some plates on it and drive that bitch around. When I'm done playing with my Z06 I'll be putting another 540 together for my other Camaro...I've also been toying with the idea of going 25.5, but I sure do love my stock suspension and 10 wides.
