The biggest question I still have is what trans to use.

I would think Peter would be able to give you the best advice. I think any of the transmissions will work, the main thing is to match the tranny with the appropriate rear gear.
The only advice I have, is that if you are going to go with a toploader, and you think at some point in the future you may change to an overdrive tranny, I'd make sure the frame/crossmember is done correctly now, if needed, to accommodate any future tranny swap.
If you are going to buy a new/ rebuilt toploader, I'd go with david kee.
