I'd want a floor in it for sure.. and I'd be using a Dedenbear or Reid transmission case, as it is between your legs.. if it's certified for 8.50, you probably will not be going 180mph, and will not require a 15 suit, so a 5 suit is OK, unless you feel you want more protection.. don't cheap out on the full face helmet, and consider a HANS device..

How old is the chassis??.. make sure the front end is good, and the length is good for your power.. most front engine cars are short, like 200" to 225".. make sure the chassis cert is current, or you may need a chassis shop to do upgrades..
