This is an interesting one, steering is probably the relay, getting them out can be a challenge , with the sort of performance you are putting in it is there going to be something done with the brakes?
It would have originally had a LT76 gearbox, the LT230 transfer box is a good choice, they are used on the earlier V8 Auto Range rovers, they can whine a bit though, and the input splines wear (though I expect Ashcroft will have fitted a long spline cross drilled input gear).
