My advice is to figure out what you're going to do with the car once it becomes a project car, since it sounds like that's what you want to do with it eventually. You'll save yourself a ton of time and money by making sure that the parts you buy now will work with your end goals. For example, don't get crazy cams if you're planning on doing any form of forced induction.
That said, my Ford Racing IIs may be up for sale this summer, if I can convince myself to spend an extra $400 once my engine is finished up.[nutkick]
