Default 96in. Build

I'm looking to see if anyone has some tips on what kind set up I should go for. I'm building a chopper and I'm looking to put a 96in tc and convert it to carb and big bore kit. But I also don't know what kind of tranny i should use and primary. Any tips would help a ton this is my first ground up bike iv built.

Tremec T-56 is a good trans, or since you're converting to carb maybe the Muncie 4-speed.

It might help to know what kind of frame you're planning on using.
