Tranny questions

As of right now my 73 Super is my dd. I has a stock 1600 Dp in it at the moment. I am looking to build a motor to about 120-150 hp. I would like to have a clean shifting tranny that will be able to grow with the hp if I decide when if I have the budget to increase the engine displacement our swap a different engine altogether. I am thinking that I will eventually go the type 4 route as it seems to be a fine powerplant for our cars. How much fabrication does it take to fit the 901? I read the tech article and am not positive that I can do that any time soon. Would it be worth the time and money to get a rancho built type 1 unit till I can stop using my car as my daily driver? Or should I take a look at a bus tranny? I have heard that they are beefier than the type 1's. On a side note I plan to do the 944 brake thing at some point and was wondering how hp you guys would reccommend shooting for to balance out the unsprung weight that I'll be picking up over the Topline kit that I have now. Thanks, Ryan
