* frame brackets and motor mounts
* front coils and suspension
* rear leafs and axle
* wheels and tires
* add wiring to harness for T5's neutral safety switch and back up lights switch.

From what I have read here over the years and from my own observations, you will be better served to start off with an eight cylinder car. Wheels, suspension, and running gear are all different.

Good luck with your project.
