But you're right, it may be prohibitively expensive to go down this route...
I'm considering a similar build for our 1970 2 door. I will do a LS swap, add AC, PS, and 4 WPDB to the truck. I'm considering QA1 front and rear suspension because it is supposed to improve ride and handling, with the opportunity to maintain the factory stock ride height. I have a set of CUCV 15x8" wheels I will run. We're planning to use it for a fair weather daily driver and long road trips.

I just picked-up a LQ4/4L80E and I have a ZL1 Blower from another project that I may use as well. It should ride and handle similar to a late model SUV and hopefully keep up with them, too. It needs a fair amount of body and interior work, too. I expect to have another +/- $30K in it before I'm done. If I sold it after completion, I'd probably get my $$$ back. If I sold it during, I'd lose a lot, like any project.
