The cheapest route is the E-85, but I don't know if this was a street/strip deal how things hold up? Race only its a no brainer IMO.

First depending if u have a old style DOM or new Hp style will depend if u have to sand down the sides of the banjo's to fit in body if old style, second u need to thread the booster pins using a 10/32 tap and pull them out, I built a small slide hammer like the one in the pic, works slick as hell. Then to install the boosters pins u just need a brass drift punch with the same curve as booster pin, put a little loctite on them, think i got mine at Harbour freight, fit perfectly.
