1983 mustang is about ready!

[blight]

Ok here is the deal i am striping down a 1983 mustang that has a rebuilt Carbed 1985 3.8L V6 from a LTD in it now it is going to get a 5.0 V8.

What is the cheapest way to get 330hp out of that engine webpages products give for i am in need FAST.

I also need suspension tips i am looking for it to hook up decent (like it will happen ) in the winter (snow and ice), great on the drag strip and to handle REALLY good on the autocross track. What should I use? Websites products i also need this as soon as possible.

Lastly i need to know what is the best automatic transmition i should need for this kind of power for the cheapest amount in money.

The goal is to have a 12second stang for the cheapest amount of money the started car is 1200 dollars it has no rust and is black in color. It is not the GT although it has the GT 4 lug rims as of now.

I just bought the car a day ago and it need to make a bet i have made against a ricer so i need the info QUICK - for all the american muscle fans help a guy out THANX for all the help any can give (i am not bashing imports but i am bashing ricers. You know that guy with a ridculously big wing NA 4cyl motor but a car that weighs 2000 pounds - although so will mine after i am done but I am using a V8 so HA!).

i guess lots of people here will share my opinion, that u cant make a 12 second car for cheap.
u want power, ur gonna put money and time into it. i wish i could help, but good luck with that bet with the ricer, be shure tu tell us what happened.

How does this setup for the engine sound to you then?
Brodix aluminum heads (i have not yet chose them)
edelbrock performer rpm aluminum intake
Jegs and summit for mic. aluminum parts like a water pump ect.
a 600 vacum holly or street avenger carb for MPG (no double pump)
a 780 or 790 vacum secondary from holly or street avenger (for the track)

and MAYBE a a 327 stroker kit
a 6 point roll cage

now i am not too sure with the transmition - from my understanding ford automatics dwindle alot of power away so maybe a a built up C4 tranny (which i would like to know how much that would run me (remember i know about GM stuff not ford)

Or i could use a manual- i am not used to a stick although i could get used to it i am still young enough to get better at it. I have just driven auto all my life- i CAN stick but not that great in comparison to someone with more experience. So i cam curious if there is a six speed tranny out there i could use? if so should i just stick with the 5 speed for how cheap? Now for the clutch if i go stick what clutch should i use for a 12 second daily/drag strip/ road race car?

I still have got no answer about suspension yet. I don't have big knowledge on that so HELP PLEASE.
