Sounds all good to me - you should pursue your vision for the car. Will be harder to do than using a SBC, but your choice.

Why not. Plenty of old Fords with small block Chevys. My cousin is putting a big block Mopar in his 39 ford pick up project. He got the engine and trans for free from his former employers hot rod shop
