Well, you seem to have narrowed it down to a Ford engine at least!
Is it to be a road or track car?

Road car that can be sprinted, the ol’mans retirement project.
He will get to the stage that long distance towing and crawling around under trailers isn’t a great idea..
As such not too low, 5 speed gearbox and two seats are a must.
Whilst there are some excellent non Ford engines to choose from, the motorsport classes available and resale value implications have to be considered.

You can hang that gasket on a wall somewhere to remind yourself not to buy one of those again...
