67 Barracuda- Brakes and suspension on a 5000 budget- advice needed

The first decision is whether to run big or small bolt pattern. I typically run small bolt pattern since it is such a pain to get all the big bolt pattern stuff. Maybe redo the drum brakes, 10", with Firm Feel shoes (Firmfeel Mopar Suspension and Steering ). Or just get a Kelsey Hays disc setup add some good brake pads. 7/8 torsion bars minimum and 6 leaf HD rear springs. Upgrade to stock A Body 8 3/4 rear when you get around to it and be done. Most important thing, once the suspension is rebuilt, is a front sway Bar. I want a tubular Firm Feel bar, but even a stock 67-72 bar will make a huge difference. You already have the hard to get lower control arms with sway bar tabs. I use rubber bushings and HD strut rod bushings with the original strut rods. Upgrade to 11/16 tie rod ends. Get good lower ball joints, the upper ball joints will probably still be good and might just need new seals. PST is a good vendor and offers discounts. Next get good shocks, good tires, and a great alignment. I am rebuilding the front end on the 67 Fastback, and it is the only A Body I have that has the big bolt pattern. I wish I had not started down that route. I have a 73 up reinforced K frame with rubber bushings everywhere and Bilstein shocks. I'm running 11.75 discs with OEM pin calipers with 10 x 2.5 rear drums and a 73 A Body 15/16 manual disc master cylinder. The only trick piece I have are Firm Feel tubular upper control arms. Out back I'm running a narrowed, custom BBP street axles, 8 3/4 to use stock offset wheels. The sway bar is from a Cop car. It works fine, but not sure the difference was worth it for all the thinking and new parts. I think it is easier and cheaper to get custom SBP wheels.
