CCP a-body disc brake conversion...any good??

I want to upgrade the drivetrain and suspension in this car first. It’s a 170 with a 3 on the tree but she wants a 4-speed and more power. Toolmanmike gave her a sweet sweet deal on an 833 4-speed trans that he has so we will need to visit him sometime this winter...road trip to Iowa! Was thinking a 318 mildly built dressed like a 273 Commando would be a nice engine for her...although she has driven mine and said “maybe I need a 340 too?!?” LOL
