A bigger question to me would be what rear gears are they going to get for the rear end, assuming you went with N&N's standard 9" Ford. It comes with housing & axles, but no pumpkin.

Yes, only suggestions!!!!
I could just tell the shop in MO. to pick me up a good drive shaft!

Just for clarity, your plan is to pick up a finished car from the shop in MO, ready to drive, and have it shipped home to California, right? Engine in, wired, interior done, painted, etc, right? Not being critical in any way, but it's different answering questions to support a build as opposed to answering to support specifying parts for a shop.

Yes,,,,have the car "ready-to-drive"{completely finished},,,but will have it shipped because the weather probably won't be that good that time of year!!!!
Hope this helps.

I totally agree with shipping the car - January/February is not a good time for a shakedown cruise from Missouri to California in a street rod!
