How many of these threads do I have to inject reality into?

This is a bone stock 84 TA.  
you need a tranny, a rear end, subframes, exhaust and a bunch of other crap for that car to survive a dozen passes that are in the 12s. This isn’t just about building a truck motor and putting it in, its about making a car that will run 12s on weekends and get you to work M-F.

If it was going to be as cheap as you think it will, I would have done it. Fortunatey, I spoke with Paul before getting too involved with the car, and then quickly sold it to you before I spent any money on it. You seriously need like $3,000 in the bank before you take on a project like this. $2000 for parts (at least) and $1000 for someone to build it.
