^^This...you may want to narrow down the list a little. I guess to help answer your question I would start with the tranny and rear. Then build the suspension, brakes, cage, etc. Then, when you get more money, build the engine/turbo kit, etc.

^ i agree, if you do your engine 1st your gonna break you rear end fast, so might as well start at the weak points

and do you have a 4l60e right now? if so is it a stock or a built?
