Post Suspension/ drive train setup

Hi there guys,

How are we all??

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of someone who could give me a hand in my DRB suspension set up. With tax return time here i have a few mods to do on the car........

DRIVETRAIN:
1. Get rid of my single railer gear box- thus a top loader required ( gotta hate it when it jumps out of 2nd gear !!) Is it true that the toploader bell housing is the same as the 4 speed single railer gearbox bell housing??? Tremec opition may be a bit far out of my price range

2. Replace the banjo diff (darkside diff) with a Ford 9" LSD diff

BACKEND:
1. Replace current drum brakes with disc brakes

2.Correct the suspension and rear end setup (the cars tooo unpredictable!!!)
Does anyone know if i could put a watts linkage in to the rear end of the standard 1995 DRB cobra (GM- Dark side front and rear ends) ???? Cause this rear end is verrrry basic.

3. new rear tyres

Literally it is whole readjustment of the geometry of the rear and front ends.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with people who i could obtain some of the parts from to complete this big project both the suspension part and the drive train part?? I just want to do all the reserch so it doenst cost me a fortune and costly mistakes!!!

Thank you for your time guys, much appreciated!

Cheers,

Al
