Once you firm up your plans than questions can be less general than yours now. However, the rear and the T5 to go with it is a great place to start. Giving all that you think you want to do, I'd drop the 216 and find a '55 and up 235 or even a 261 up to 1962. More power in both those engines. I think dual GM brake cylinders from the 60-70 era work well. Or all this brake and suspension pieces can be bought as complete kits from many suppliers. Hope this helps some. Others likely will reply with plus/minus opinions to mine.
