Ford Racing is supposed to start selling crate engines in 2012. Transmission would be either the T9 (rare) or the T5. I think I could get a new T5.

Wheels

Need to get rid of wire wheels, which means I need to replace the front hubs and rear axle shafts.

Stock: 4 x 4" (100mm) bolt pattern, same as Chevy Vega, Opel Kadet and 1900, BMW 3-series

4 x 13 wheels

I think I want something very conservative / traditional racing look like Panasport / Minilite style with 165-70 13" tires.
