Here's the setup on the rolling chassis: (cut and pasted from sale ad)
Cage with swingouts
3200 lbs with motor and tranny in
Solid Roof
Carbon fiber hood
Fiberglass bumpers front and rear

Aluminum radiator core support
Line lock
2" Bell drop spindles in front with new springs and rotors.
Battery mounted NHRA legal in Trunk, in box, with external shut off.
Rear end:
9" Ford
31 spline moser axles
1/2 studs
Drum brakes, ford truck
Nodular third member
brand new 3.50 gears and bearings
4 pinion traction lock posi
ATR lowered lower control arms.
ET Streets
Walbro 340 in gas tank
Vacuum brake conversion
Tranny: (cut and pasted from sale ad)
Professionally built Turbo 400 with the BOP bolt pattern. The trans is fresh and has never been installed. It was built for a full weight 10 sec. GN in mind and does have the HD sprag. Slip yoke to go on the stock driveshaft. The trans does not have a brake, and will shift as an automatic in "D", but has full manual control when shifted manually.
Engine:
45,000 miles, never opened up. Came from wrecked unmodified GN. Even has stock FPR on it. While the engine is out I am replacing valve springs, valve guide seals, rear main seal, timing gear and chain and associated gaskets.
I've already purchased a B&M Megashifter. The car obviously is going to be primarily track use but I'd still like to keep it somewhat streetable. I know the engine will need this and that and the other thing to bring it up to par on the strip. My goal is potential high tens, I'm not dead set on that but it sounds good for the moment. The part right now that I am thinking about is injectors and turbo combo. I'm leaning towards the PT54 on the turbo but am not convinced yet. I know I'll need at least a 55 lb injector but should I go to a bigger size without losing anything?
Also torque convertor. What brand, size and stall should I look for? Keep in mind I am trying to keep costs to a minimum because I may just sell this thing when it's done. Like I said, I'm pretty much doing this because I enjoy it and am learning a lot.
Also the car will have a PTE front mount IC. Can't think of any more to add right now but with your help I can proceed with buying a turbo, injectors and convertor. I should be getting the car within a few days. Already have the engine and tranny. All opinions will be appreciated except for "just throw some race gas and a chip in it and you'll be in the tens"
