First off what type of tires are you going to run?
If you run the Lp panthers you will not have to change your spur gear. But if you decide to run maxx size tires you will have to run a bigger spur, raise the diff, get a new upper center diff brace ( since the new spur will be taller) and also a new radio tray since the stock one sits to close to the center and any larger spur will hit it. Hole shot engineering makes a conversion kit, do a search on ebay for truggy.
Also most tracks require that you run a truck type body not a buggy body, you will then have to get body posts to mount your body, the GS SUT body posts work well. Just bolt them direct to your shock towers.

if you're going to use the LPs then just get the 12 tooth ofna clutch bell,,,you may not need the bigger spur with that big block engine,,but if you want to run MT tireds then you'll want the total conversion or you'll just burn clutches and over heat your motor,,
the reason guys change the shock tower is to run the longer rear shocks on the front,,not 100% nessacary but it help handling
the GS "SUT" is a factory convert GS Storm truggy,"Storm Unlimited Truck",,,I can't believe you've never heard of it.

had enough answered alot, of your ???'s
If I can just add the radio tray cannot be dremeled, the K series try to bring everything towards the middle, so no larger spur gear will fit.
Do a search on ebay for Komodo, and just make sure you get the maxx size
