I generally try to buy the best stuff I can for my car. I am very hard on my car on the street and a 9" would be nearly indestructable. I've already gone through a brand new set of FMS 3.73 gears and don't wish to install another set just to tear them up too.
A Tremec TKO will be next on the list. For now the T-5 is holding up and I have a spare one for backup.
It's not going to be a million dollar setup. I'll be getting a good deal on all the parts I hope. I figure between $1500-$2000 should cover everything - axles, 3rd member, gears, housing, control arms, sheet metal. As for the tubbing, a friend is going to do it when he does the rest of the aluminum work in the hatch area so that'll be pretty cheap.
