help me build my first race car

"Put the cart before the horse" Don't me to throw an old saying out there. These guys are right and I know it sounds backwards, but if you don't you will be breaking things left and right. Work on body stiffening, tubs, suspension, rear end and axles, drive shaft, transmission and worry about the motor later and that will give you plenty of time to collect engine parts. Unless you have enough money up front to pay for everything.
