Go fast TIB

Hey guys, I'm finally going to start my first build and I'm in need of some advice. I have a 1997 twin i beam set up and I've been racking my brain on how I'd like to build up the front suspension. I wished i had gotten a 98 just for the upper and lower control arms but i couldnt pass up on how much i got this one for. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.

What are you wanting as end result?

I assume speed, so lower and its a 2WD
Or are you wanting it to sit higher, a lift, pre-runner style

I'm planning on doing a street strip build. I'm going to be dropping in a chevy 350 followed by a th350 with a 8.8 rear end out of a crown vic. Im going to be putting in poly urethane bushings all throughout the front end. And i dont think the stock coil and shocks are going to be enough along with the bushings to keep the front end up and i know the twin i beam setup is good for lifting but how good is it for the application im wanting to do?
