83 280zx with a sbc(350) and 200-250 shot. car weighs about 2900 with me in it.
it should run a mid to high ten on the motor. and powerglides are simple and dont weigh as much.

1.82 are semi-rare only because they came behind 6 cylinder only and max at 3-400hp. that gear set is not that strong, you should think about a 1.76 at least for your application they are good for up to 600hp and no you wont notice that much a difference in et. like .01-.02. powerglides can be cheap if you start basic but can go sky high depending on application, like 1500-2000 hp.
i think theyre like $900 in jegs for a mild one, but they can cost over $2000 depending on what parts are used in them. like buck4more said, you dont want to use a 1.82 glide... the only thing that is good on those is the case and pump (same as a 1.76). the input shafts are like tooth picks. Id go with used 1.76 glide, then buy a hardened input shaft, stator shaft, and a master rebuild kit. Get the TSR powerglide rebuild manual and have at it. theyre really easy to rebuild and require a minimal amount of tools, especially if you wont be installing a trans-brake. You can probably get away with only having around $300 dollars in it, plus the cost of the used powerglide. Plus youll learn how to build your own transmission, that is priceless
