Project' Rabid Goat

[69*Goat]

Hey guys, I have not been on in a while mainly because I have been broke from paying for two years of my sons college(that was the promise I made him). Anyway, I have come into a little bit of money, and I am going to change some things on my 69' Goat. This thing is not much more than my weekend warrior, and I have already decided on Vari-Shocks for it. I am currently running Global West tubular suspension on it. It has been lowered 1.5" in the front(spring choice), and 1" in the rear(spring choice). I am wanting to upgrade the brakes, so some suggestions there would be helpful. It is a factory disc brake car, and I am looking at running either 17", or 18" wheels. I am also wanting to swap rear ends, but I am having a hard time deciding on a 9", or a 12 bolt. Any suggestions there will be helpful as well. I want to ditch my current dash, with stock gauges for something that is more modern, so any suggestions on who I can contact for that is greatly appreciated. My engine combination is listed in my signature, but feel free to ask me questions. Also, the car is a factory auto with a TH400. I am trying to decide between a Keisler 5 or 6 speed, or a 200R4 auto with overdrive. Any input for that would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys.
