Looks like a great starting point.
as far as what to use for the drive train, are you buying the car as an investment, or are you buying the car to build and enjoy it the way you always have wanted one?

Don't change the reason you are buying the car to please these guys here. Buy it and build it the way you want it to be. Let the next guy do what ever he wants, you are the care taker until it moves to the next guy, when ever that might be.
