Talking New Project setup questions

Hello Everyone!
I'm starting a project pro-tour '66 Nova and would welcome any suggestions as far as installation horror stories and recommendations. Here's my plan:

LS2 engine
T-56 trans
New wiring loom throughout
18" torq thrusters
Falken FK-451's
Mini-tub
Wayne Due front clip w/C-4 components
Baer brakes
IRS or 3, 4 link or truck rear end(this is my dilemma!)
AutoMeter Gauges

The car probably won't see a lot of track time. More of a Canyon carver is what I'm looking for.
Since I'm not planning on having a new chassis built are there any suggestions as to what is best for the stock chassis?
Anyone want to comment on any of these components or how they are going to go together would be greatly appreciated!

sounds like a nice ride......take your time on the rear suspension and figure out what will work best for you and what you need the car to do!

Default I AM crazy!

Well....just one more fact to fuel the fire of why I named myself novaNUTCASE. Now I'm thinking that maybe it would be better to go with an Art Morrison or Wayne Due full sub. Any thoughts from the gallery?
