97 ws6 formula

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi guys I recently purchased a 1997 formula ws-6 six speed car. It wasbought at an auction and therefore i have no history on car. Here is what I do know. Someone was installing a rebuilt engine and did not finish. I am in the process of removing the engine and tearing it down to clean and inspect. This is necessary due to it sitting in a tow lot with no intake installed. Here is a list of parts that I know are missing. I will update list as i find out more or purchase parts. If you have any of these parts available at a reasonable price and are willing to ship to montana please let me know. I might not be able to purchase immediately so please bear with me. thanks

So far what i know about engine is that it has brand new trickflow heads. electric
waterpump, ati dampner, and a canton oilpan. Also has hooker coated longtubesthe ones where number one cylinder is slip in to clearance steering coupler. Came with aluminum comp 1.6 rr's Motor is out now but not tore down when i get inside of it i will update specs.

1) pcm. i fully realize I will need to pay to have it programmed for my specs.
2) Intake to work with tfs heads
3)throttle body 52mm or 58mm brand not important
4) fuel rail and injectors to work with aforementioned set-up.
5) lifters and spider including locks
6)pushrods
7) air intake system including maf.
8) shifter handle and **** pic available in case shifter is not stock.
9) passenger side hard brakeline.
10) electric fans

Any knowledge and assistance in helping me assemble this car is greatly appreciated. I understand some parts are probably better bought new. So any advise on where to purchase and part numbers would help alot. I am in Montana and the lt-1 guys are few and far between.

thanks Jeff

You might want to post your parts list in the "parts wanted" forum.
