Welcome along.

I am not sure if a FFR kit has been complied in Vic yet, so that would be the first thing to check and find out, maybe join the Cobra Car Club of Vic.

If a FFR has not been complied, then it may be due to being "too hard" with requirements for torsional and beaming test on frame, and manufactured parts requiring metalurgy testing etc (maybe)

Dont be put of thinking that old Jag or Nissan stuff is no good.
Classic Revival use current commodore suspension, so in theory you could buy brand new parts from Holden (although used parts would be far cheaper)

Your engine choice should be fine for compliance.

Live side pipes as far as I know are still not permitted in Vic when doing compliance.

"My interest got more into enquiring, since I saw the kits from Factory Five Racing (FFR), as I like the idea of an all brand new parts instead of a swap in Nissan or Jaguar suspension and the likes of that. Also, they manufacture kits and spare parts on a decent scale for maybe Low Volume Vehicle Scheme and the complete kit only requires the engine, transmission, water pump, wheels and tyres."

You will also need to convert it to R/H drive.
And I am not sure if FFR would be wanting to chase the Low Vehicle Volume approval.

In any case, good luck in your hunt, join Vic club.
Also there is a large Cobra gathering at Winton the Saturday after F1 GrandPrix, may be a chance to see some cars up close.
