You can have the PB, I personally just don't think it's worth it.
I built the valvecovers myself from 69 covers. It's a Stage V intake. I hated the fuel pressure regulator up there, I changed it a couple of times. I ended up with the gauge coming off a t to the front carb with the gauge facing...
You could spend $1k or so to get a repro Hemi booster and bracket and still have pull it out of the way to set the valves. I've run manual disc brakes on my last two Hemi swap cars and it's the only way to go. Pedal effort is quite manageable and pedal feel is better than power brakes IMO.
If the pinion bearings are in good shape there isn't anything to reset other than backlash. Don't even take the pinion out of the case. Make sure the backlash is the same as it was with the open diff though, so you must measure it before taking it apart.

R/T's are hard to find. There's really nothing to think about IMHO. Alberta rust is much easier to deal with than eastern rust too. Do the deal before Christmas so you both get a nice present. Project values are whatever someone will pay, maybe $6-$8k? Maybe more, it's really hard to say. It...
You have a rear sway bar so that must mean you want it to handle somewhat. In that case, biased springs like XHD or Super Stock springs are not the hot setup. So I would suggest new springs like the HD springs which are the same both sides but I would add an extra full length leaf to each of...
I did two shaker conversions for Challengers over the last two years. It's an expensive thing to do and it will increase the value of the car a bit less than what the cost is. It will cost you the same to convert a hood (plus labour if you're paying someone) as it will to just buy an AMD hood...
This car is actually pretty solid. I find a lot of those eastern cars are rusty everywhere, your car is pretty solid but with rusty sheetmetal in localized areas.
