The front T/A x-member/mount has multiple options for the placement of the arms which helps dial in driveline alignment/angles. They also have pass through access for exhaust which should make exhaust routing easier.

Pieces are stronger/beefier vs stock stuff.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
