If you're trying to build an "accurate" replica then yes a Ford 289 or FE series is probably the way to go but it's still a "replica". Have at it.
My thought is to build whatever you want and it probably won't matter until you try to sell, then the Ford block will have advantages.
BTW, Pete Brock replaced the RDI aluminum 427 Windsor originally in his Superformance Daytona Coupe with a Chevy LS7 427 not the LS3. I saw it a few times during the transition. I thought I'd heard that he's changed it again.
