Default Second time around for a 68 Firebird

I originally had a 68 Firebird which I sold years ago to goto school and recently came across another 68 Firebird project car. Last time I left it pretty much stock. This time I am thinking since I will be pulling it off the frame for media blasting I would like to make it a good daily driver. So I am thinking a 1968 400 era block or equivalent with 16 heads, an Edelbrock EFI, March Serpentine belt system, Factory air, dual electric fans, 4 wheel disc, 700r4 lockup converter with either a DSE or fabricated 4 link in the back and fully updated 2 inch drop tublar A arm front suspension and maybe a mini tub in the back. Its a project so its still in the early planning stages. I welcome ideas and cheap alternatives and or part sources.

Very cool. 68s are one of my favorite years and one of the 'Birds I'd like to own someday. Welcome to FBO!
