Default where to start

Hey guys. Im looking to put together a cobra kit over the next few years. Dad and I had a deal. He supplies the motor tranny, and rear end, and I got the rest. He built what i understand to be a punched out 351 to 360 balanced and blueprinted with afr heads. 500+hp he thinks. Dunno never fired or dynoed. He got a borg warner 4 speed from the sho mustang i believe, and obviously the ford 9" rear. Unfortunately he died in july and before we decided on which kit to go after, what options, and how much we would do at a time $$$. I have read that street beast kits are crap, and the others basically vary in price without much difference. I did see this one in california called pacific roadsters that looked promising. But being the gear head i am, and thrifty i would like to know if i can buy a shell and basically shop around for a chassis, frame and the rest at swaps or just someone who got in over their head and no has to sell in order to save as much as i can and have a bad a$$ snake.
