Jay,

go for it, you can use escort, cortina or sierra running gear (some mods will be needed for some stuff) go with the gte engine, I'm using that engine and others are further on with their builds than me with that engine too.

get ron champions book and then look back at old posts on this site about what mods are needed for example to fit sierra IRS rear end if that's your thing.

Andrew.
