Greetings!

In the process of restoring a 1969 Charger. Looking for some suggestions for transmission & rear suspension upgrades. The engine is a cross-bolted 440, punched to 511. Should generate about 700HP. The car will be a weekend driver, no track/racing, just easy... well, somewhat easy street use. Getting tons of suggestions... Tremec, Muncie, Ford Topl-oader... ya, and others. definitely a manual transmission. Rear end/suspension, same issue... tons of suggestions and options. Moser, Strange, Currie, Ford 9", Dana... Looking to ditch the leafs and go coil-overs, rear disks, large tires. Car is not tubbed. Fabrication is no issue. Will likely install a CV overdrive. Money to invest is limited to the "chrome" scale... not Platinum. Any suggestions all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

20 grand pretty easy. I went with the TKO 5 speed kit and a Dana 60 from DR. Differential [Cass]. All new stock rear suspension, rear Disc and master from Dr.D., Front Wilwood.
