I guess using Sierra bits as much as possible means you can use the Book designs for the wishbones etc, same argument for using MX5 bits - and the designs people have come up with for Mazda based builds.
If you start using other donors you'll presumably need to compensate for different suspension geometry and change the designs, which would be well beyond me, although perhaps you are happy to do so?
Sounds like using a custom bell housing to allow the use of a Ford box would be an easy way to get the engine you want - and allow you to follow the Book design faithfully - but as you say all you then want is the Omega engine...
Whereabouts are you? I've got a Sierra with the engine and box removed if you are thinking of getting hold of some Ford running gear for your build...?
