Front end advice 68 camaro

HI, I know i dont post here but i figure i could get the best advice for what i want to know here.

I have a 80s early 90s style back half bracket car. I am trying to get the car to work better on bad tracks. If the prep is Great the car is Great. I feel like the front end is real tight. I know the car weights about 2550 without me in it.

The front end of the car is pretty much stock. A arm, drum brakes, steering box. car is currently a steel headed sbc.I do have QA1 single adjustable shocks and stock springs. I would like to put the tubular a arms on and disc brakes. I really need to upgrade the front end but money is an object and looking for the best bang for the buck .

So what parts and pieces to you suggest?

Main questions are what to choose between the QA1 coil over conversion kit and the santhuff.

Which Disc brakes to go with? rear are drums.

Should i change bushings and add a front end kit.

I want to cut the crossmember under the motor out and add a motor plate. Mainly so i can take the oil pan off while the motor is in the car.

Thanks
Tee
