I just looked at the profile pictures and I believe that going "RR" is a mistake especially if you have limited experience. I bet the car has been modified with a dropped front axle, modified rear spring 16" wheels and MAYBE hydrallic brakes (i bet you do have the Hydrallic brakes installed) get it running & stopping well with the stock engine then get in touch with local LA rodding clubs that will be glad to help a newbie out in updating the car.
Get glass in it clean up the interior. Go to the H.A.M.B. and you will get a wealth of information AND encouragement There are young guys in LA to help you LEARN!
