Thanks guys
The whole family really likes the car ... (especially me, imagine that) and yes to be honest, I have spent some 'extra' time in the garage ... it's fun to just look at it.
Picked up the motor today from Tom at FE Specialties, brought it home along with a few more boxes of parts. Next step will be to make sure I have all the parts I need and set up a time with the boys to drop in the motor and trans.
My guess is the motor and trans will very likely go in pretty easily, hooking everything else up will probably take a bit more time ... looking forward to it !
