Default Built ls1 FD rx7

Hey guys,
I am not new to the tuning scene at all (owned 3 all early 90's built miata's last one was dyno'd at 250whp, a show quality g35 coupe, gti fully built, 2.5rs coupe, and e36 m3) but this is the first time getting into something with an LS as well as the first time getting into an RX7 so I'm in new territory.

Going to look at this ls1 FD sunday and wanted some advice on what I should ask, be looking for, or anything I should be concerned about?

Thank you!

Engine from an 02 ss Camaro with 3k on the build.
Also power steering, dvd player, full sound system, clean body, no a/c

The guys says he's run a 1090 in the 1/4 mile with it but only took it out twice.

He's selling it for a great price, and I have a few grand of "oh ****, things broke" money saved up... but I want to get general opinions on it. Ill be using it as a summer fun car probably not take it to the track (maybe once or twice) and honestly not drive it Insanely hard, just occasionally
