Be careful putting too much time into the ford motor. I had the 188hp in a Searay that I dumped way too much time and energy into it.
Most time's besides alternator/starter I was able to use a 70's era mustang for parts. But often times parts were either expensive heavily used or hard to find. But I also was coupled to a 888 outdrive too which was hard to find parts. I think you said you were coupled to a TRS. I think I still have a few parts off that old ford motor I think valve cover gaskets and the alignment tool.
