Well, I'm not looking for a Plymouth Arrow anymore. Just aquired a 66 Valient 2 door old drag car. Straight axel from a Dodge van under the front, 83/4 rear(no idea of the ratio as yet), frame connectors, mounts for traction bars, and a huge tunnel on the fire wall.
Hopefully will have it together sometime this year. Probably will not make any races this year, but looking forward to the next.
Plans are to start out with a two bbl setup, headers and cam while I work on the blower motor to install at a later date. Will keep you posted on progress and will post some pics as soon as I take some.

You have the right idea, install any old engine / trans into the car to get it running then up-grade later. I did this with my last drag car, it spent the first few year of its life with a worn-out 225 1bbl engine in it. (it was better then pushing the car around )
