Congrats on the acquisition!! Can't wait to read about the work you're gonna do on this beast!
My $.02, not that you asked, but PLEASE do not shell out dough for the 6WB.. Compared. The Alpina cluster is CLASSIC and modern at the same time. You will get used to it and love it. I have both and have swapped in 6WB twice but ended up swapping back to the Alpina one. The 6WB in th F series is nice but not fully featured like the G series.
For brakes, you'll have plenty of options, to keep stock or go bigger. Rears are plenty good as is at 370mm.
