A lot of people say you'll need a 4 wheel disc specific proportioning valve if you swap from rear drum to rear disc but, when I ditched the TEVES system in favor of a standard master cylinder/booster from a '94 Mustang in my Blue Mark VII I ran it with no proportioning valve at all and I liked it. It was very direct and communicative.

Tubular K-members are really cheap these days. QA-1 makes one that moves the centerline of the front wheels 2" forward (I think) and offers two sets of slots for the motor mounts. That would yield a nice gain in caster and potentially make a decent improvement in weight distribution. Large tires might rub a bit, though. I think it's $250 or so.

If you upgrade to 31 spline axles you could snag the traction lok out of an Exploder.
