Bryan,
Great progress! I like what's in store!
I'm very happy with my late case 4 speed, 4:12 with .82 4th. ZF LSD with type 2 flanges and cvs. It's wicked for bombing around town (I CANNOT stress enough how important an LSD is!), and can cruise 120 on the highway at about 3300 no problem. Depends how much time you spend on the highway really. But i certainly understand your concerns for cutting the body/pan. That's why I stayed relatively stock myself. To my understanding there is no 5 speed conversion that doesn't require body/pan mods.
Alex
