Go with the gears and simply paint your existing calipers. Or do the powdercoating exchange with Corvette Pilot along with the gears.

Personally I would go with 3.42's & torque converter. You may be able to pick up both in the Parts For Sale Sectiom.

I'm sure your mind is made up at this point, but you'll get more bang for your buck going with gears and tc. Then, start saving money each week to replace the rear tires that you'll find "spinning" more often...
