Aftermarket universal hyd clutch (hyd throwout bearing) set up can save you messing with unobtanium dinosaur stuff. If you find a deep gear 5 spd you may only need a 2.93 posi or something milder to get a good stop light drive away gearing in 1st.
Yeah, so now that I've done more research I'm leaning towards what you list above!

First order of business is to source a rear end with respectable gears and limited slip. I'm going to start a new thread to solicit information about suspension geometry...

Thanks!
