Grasshopper, when you can keep your crayola within the lines... only then will it be time to ask impossible-to-answer-questions with far-too-less-information provided.
Is your '81 running good ? Any mods ? 2nd gens are pigs. You already have a first gen. How serious "drag race" ? Got shitpots of money ? Do you have a driver's license yet ? How long has it been since you shat yellow ?

Uhm...*cough*
Well...4k can get you a decent Trubo swap, but it won't be no drag car, even then. You gotta spend at least 10k to make it a ''fast'' car. Why don't you just stick with a 13bt swap with your 4k and enjoy the ******* 7 while you're at it? Have you even pushed the car to it's limits yet? How about suspension? Goddamnit, take some time to drive it, get your swap, and THEN think about 11 second 1/4 miles...till then...over and out.
Remember kids...don't bite off more than you can chew, or you'll get *** raped!

or just show up at the next Sevenstock with your car and the 4 grand... try to find a buyer and sell your car for whatever you can get... and then go around trying to buy somebody else's car. You'll probably get twice as much for your money. But it still won't be a truly serious drag car.
ps Don't flash the 4G's around too much or you'll find yourself crying up under some dirty bleachers about how your money's gone and your *** hurts.
