besides suggesting to buy a kit and a wreck (donor car and use its diff aswell instead of 9") i cant help you but i will suggest fitting before you paint.

Why do you wanna use a 9", the v6 isnt going to make any where the power or torque that would warrent a 9", a cut down borg warner would be a lot lighter, and take all the abuse from the 6 all day, not to mention cheaper, unless you already have one ready to go in.
Theres no real need to buy a wreck, you can get running vn's for under 1K minus rego, so rip the engine, trans, loom, diff everythin out and then burn the shell.....and video it so everyone can watch later.
