4.5/5.5 static drop with spindles/springs up front and a flip in the rear. Add a rear sway bar, and rebuild the wear parts while you are at it. Should provide for a fun street ride.

As for the manual transmission, the only one I would consider would be a T56. Would be a easy swap since they came behind the LS1. It will handle the power you are making.

Just my $.02.
