Couple of suggestions maybe...I own a 514 equipped 68 FB. If I was to do it over I would definitely go with motor plates. It will make the exhaust fit a lot easier. I might have even done a front clip. As far as the trans is concerned, if you go C6 there is only one vendor I would go to. JPT in Eaton Falls, MI. They specialize in high HP ford transmissions, and convert the trannies to full rollers (less loss thru the drive train), with their own custom planetaries. Your other option is to buy all the hard parts from JPT and find a local guy to assemble it. I would never recommend a four link to anyone, unless they had a lot of background in drag racing. Ladder bars and coil overs would be my first choice. Once set, they work great.
Another question of course is who is backhalving the car?
