This is the first website I remember with good pics of a b-body mini tub job.

Personally I like the Magnum Force relocation kit.

Any of the kits for A & E body vehicles are good. All require journeyman level fitting and welding skills. Not a job for the faint hearted if you know what I mean. The Magnumforce kit has the holes located already which helps somewhat. A long peice of all thread can be utilized to hold the front mounts for layout purposes and even locating them for welding. Good luck on your venture and post lots of pictures.
