Question gsl rolling chassis commin my way input needed

ok a friend of mine found me a gsl (yr unknown at the moment) just the rollin chassis and another friend has a fc that he's tryin 2 sell for cheap, i was thinkin on using the front subfram like (i 4got who it was on this board did already) and doing the 13b-re, turbo II brakes,turbo II trans, gsl-se rear end, cryo treating all the gears in the trans, rear end, ect, so basically im asking on your input if i should continue with this or what other combo's would you (fellow 1st gen member's) suggest your input is gladly appreciated....and no im not going to accept any suggestions to put a 302,305,350 or whatever in there, im keepin it rotary, also not to excited on doin a 3rotor swap because it's still going to be a street driven car, im lookin for a practical or at least somewhat practical street car, thnx in advance an sorry for makin it so long

Go for it. The only problem I see is you will have different wheel bolt patterns between the front and rear. But you can find adapters for the rear.

That and the cryotreating sounds pricey, not practical without some serious hp.

well my plans for the motor might change, between now an when it's actually finished so i figure it's a saftey zone with me doing that, i might just do it to the trans gears and rear end gears only though so i dont think it would be that much, the company that does it said they're going to send me a price list tomorrow, the company's 300below if anyone's interested

Just a random thought. While ago I saw an article on building up from a rolling platform using a welded steel body frame and styrofoam blocks and fiberglass.If you have everything in place ,you could cage it and fill in the blanks and make a Fararri if you wanted too.
