Well you have the power plant, now you need items to get power to the ground.

Transaxle, a donor car, or either, a new or used donor pallet Check this site on Ebay it will list the parts that in the pallet http://www.ebay.com/itm/Factory-Five...#ht_4528wt_934

And don't forget a build plan

Hi, do you have the kit yet? Have you been reading the forums and looking at the different problems guys run into? You'll need to spend a couple months reading.
I question a couple things on your list and if it will fit in the GTM kit, like your headers, water pump, supercharger, and the A/C unit.

I've been into this thing a year now and I'm still learning things to do from reading the build logs and posts from fellow builders.

Well I am waiting on the kit and this is what I have had donated I may use it all or I may not I have to see I have been reading and watching everything on the net about the GTM. I am a good fabricator I used to be listed as a model maker. I really apreciate all the advice and experiance of everyone. I have even gotten GM Performance guys willing to help me I used to race for them in 2000 with a Grand Am Super Gas car. What transaxle are you going with if you dont mind me asking? Everyone I have gotten intouch with has given me so much parts, advise, and their knowledge. Thank you to all.

I would get a copy of the build manual (electronic version). Then I would read through the entire "64K question" sticky on the other forum. Armed with the forum knowledge, I would then proceed to follow the manual's process for preparing the parts you have (and collect) for their install into the kit.

It will save you time and resources if you keep things basic until you have the kit.

Until your kit is delivered, 75% or more of your time will be better spent going through the forum (and manual).
