ok, this is what i have come up with as a good budget build for my car.
Suggest you also look into an adjustable Pinion Snubber for the front of your 8.75 and reinforce the floor where the snubber will contact it. Ran this same setup in my old '69 Dart with SS springs and it hooked hard and straight.
As 'wigsplitter' said, use /6 t-bars up front with some worn out shocks if this is a strip only car. You want the front to raise quickly for weight transfer and then lower for better aerodynamics and less drag through the lights on the top end. Don't just raise the front by jacking the t-bars, you'll lose too much by increased drag and bad aero. You want to keep the air over the top of the car and around the sides at speed - not under the car.
