Not bad. Call me crazy, but I’m very opposed to a Chevy engine in something called a Ford.

Geez, buy a car that's finished for 10k or so. Then you can modify it to suit you. Building from scratch can be very depressing. I did it once, set a budget of 30k for a high end build and got to 30k and was only half done! For parts RPM and CCR are great., and you have Summit and Speedway and others. And eBay can be a place to find parts and even cars. And the bucketeers are your helpers all the time.

RE: Ford engine.
There have been a lot built with 2.3L 4s.
There have been a lot built with Small blocks and big blocks, too. Small blocks being more common.
All are fewer than the most common SBC.
With a fairly tight budget, it will come down to what works for you at a reasonable price point.
Two motor mounts, a trans mount and driveshaft change, and rewiring a few things is simple, toss in a set of headers.
I will mention that a SBF is longer and narrower, so it may require some additional work. Watch for radiator location and any steering and suspension that may cause exhaust issues.

Here are a couple in the PNW. I don't do FB, but with autotempest you can search ads. Both have Ford engines.

As I’ve mentioned before, I use Solidworks for my job. Today it dawned on me that we also have a robotic foam cutter at work. Anything I can draw in Solidworks, I can make out of foam. So I can make a form from foam and do fiberglass parts…..once I know how to do fiberglass.
