trans reminds me of a ZF unit, kind of hard to tell from the pics. Do you have a side view of the front suspension? looks like it's either set up as a center pivot or a leading link deal--can't spot the pivot points too well. You may want to consider leaving the rear end be but going to a VW setup up front. tons and tons of new and used parts available. maybe dig up an old VW based rail and merge the two together. As far as engine goes, if it is a ford sourced trans and will bolt up, a 5.0 liter roller lifter engine out of a fox body stang. same reasons as the vw based front end. If you didn't get any background on what it was going to be or was, i'm thinking it may have been someone's sand/dirt drag racer.
