Steve,
I'm actually hoping to follow your build so please share details as you go. My car is complete but I do like to watch as others work. I made some changes to the rear end and used a Currie Fab-9 (over kill) with upgraded/custom coil over mounts. Look in my gallery for pics. My new set up is a much stronger assembly with double shear mounts for the coil overs. I used adjustable upper and lower control arms. Hotchkis uppers and custom fabbed lowers because of the length issues. Made the rear end alignment and pinion angle adjustments possible. Also the articulation of the suspension was much improved with no binding. I also found a big improvement in fabbing a stronger transmission x-bar support. You may also if you don't already have is weld in a bracket for a pillow block to support your steering shaft. Hard to locate before engine and headers are in but hard to install after powder coating chassis. I made a bolt in version which works well. Good luck!

John
