Good points on the trans sounds like one of the key peices for the car to be compedtive. On the rear end I already have a Moser 31 spline 9 inch for a fox body mustang so unless it robs way to much power I will run it. Other parts I already have I am planning on using are, Bogart D10 wheels (15x3.5 and 15x9.5), global west del-a-lum bushings for the front and I have but am not if they are what I should put on the car, lake would shocks and lift bars (was thinking more of global west lower rears and QA1 shock). Thanks again guys trying to put a plan together.

You are on the right track. The 9" will give you an advantage of more gear selection, at a cost of being less efficient than an 8.8. Brakes are another disadvantage with the 9" unless you go aftermarket disc, and that is due to the weight.

This rear end has the ends that takes stock brakes(drums), are aftermarket brakes needed or something to add later? (if I were looking to try to gain a small amount)

They are not needed, but something to concider. Start with what you have and build on it. But the trans, clutch and suspension should be at the top of the priority list. The Del-Alum are the best in my opinion on the front suspension. Go to divisional races and look around. You do not have to have the trick of the week to get going.

First: I want to thank Greg Fulk for recommending me to do cylinder head work for you.

Shawn,
Please give me a call anytime. I spend a ton of time on the flow bench I'm very economical. I've had a bunch of cars thru the barn. I'm sure I can really help you out.
Best regards,
Chris Hardy
