As far as your drop goes I would do at least a 3-5 drop. I am currently saving for my drop and just from looking at pictures it looks like 3-5 sits about an inch above tires, 4/6 sits level with the top of tires, and 5-7 tucks about an inch.

As far as backspacing goes I can't help you there yet but I am sure others will chime in.

Sounds like a fun project by the way. My Dad and I are working on my 83' dime together.
