As soon as I can get the photos off my other computer I'll send you some. In the mean time if Jim 'tpi 421' see's this maybe he can send you his conversion pics & mine .
Good luck,
Dave

See if this works. These pictures were when I was running 26x11.5x15 ET streets. I have since changed to a 28x12.5x15 ET street.

I run a 28" ET Street, and reused the stock rear rotors and calipers.
Also installed a 4L80e at the same time (took out a ZF)

Part of the reason I went the torque arm route was exactly this. The back half of the car was going to have to be removed to properly mount the links, and cross member from each frame rail.
The torque arm is similar to that of a camero settup. I put Hime Joints on all the ends and centered. I haven not made any adjustments except stiffing the passenger rear QA1. This got the front end to lift evenly.
I think either settup is going to provide the stregth and traction capability your looking for. The Torque Arm is by far less work-but not as common.
I hope to put my car in the high 8's soon, which will be a testimony of the rear settup on a 28" ET Street.
