My requirements... what to build?

"GRASSHOPPER!". . Remember start at the back and build forward start looking for a Dana 60 out of a truck or something like that. Looking for a machine shop that will cut down the rear end and put normal car ends on it so you can put your brakes and stuff on it. Also picking out your gears and your differential. If you get all that put in what's the new Driveline to your current setup it may change things as well with some nice gearing. Then after you enjoy that new gearing for a minute you can go ahead and pull the motor and transmission. While the motor is at the machine shop you can rebuild the transmission yourself which is easier than falling out of bed... $125 for a rebuild kit and $75 or less for a transgo shift kit.. I've installed the trans go two a couple of times and they make the transmission to shift perfect. Not harsh and banging just quick and snappy like you want it... no I'm running out of $0.02 and going to have to charge you $0.25 LOL...

Learning lots.
I do need to do some research on what I want to do with the rear end. The 7 1/4 rear right now isnt going to make it so that is for sure coming out. I would like to get a 8 3/4 rear for an A body but they are a tad pricy.
My thought was to do it all at once while the car is down down and the motor is out.
I am sure my mind will change several times over the course of this.

As previously mentioned this year is disc break conversion and some front end work. I believe my mind is already made up on that LOL.

Thanks for your help. Saving the link to this thread so I can revisit it when decision time comes.

Now the fun begins to start to talk and research shops in Michigan I can talk to.
