Your choice of gearbox will be of more importance.
Small engines don't really weigh a lot less than a big engine. say comparing a 1400 with a 2000.
From what you have said before, you route should be to follow in the path of others.
Build from a 1.8 CVH Sierra, it will be fun enough to start with and is a simple install. Then you can plan for a 2.0 Zetec later on. Plan the build to use a MT75 gearbox even if you only use a Type 9.
Have you driven many RWD cars?

Thanks TT - makes sense, I suppose, bearing in mind my limitations.
With regard to RWD: one or two. I learnt to drive in an Escort and my first car was a Cortina 1600 E which quickly succumbed to the vigours of my youth (I last saw it buried in a fence). Not too long after, I owned an RS Mexico (complete with black painted bonnet) and even drove an RS 2000 -giving my age away now!!!
Most recently, although going back several years, I'm ashamed to admit I owned a Rep-mobile in the form of a 3 series BMW (why oh why I did do that?)
In between, believe it or not, they even paid me to drive 2.8i Granadas, Capris and apparently souped up Rover V8s at very high speeds. What were they thinking of
