In the end, this will be a matter of personal preference, and whatever you choose will automatically be right for you. If you were building an ERA, there would be a reasonably strong tug on your building psyche to use an FE because of resale and ERA tradition. Not so much with an SPF.

In the end, the only thing that will matter is that you are happy with your choice. Follow your heart, do a good job, and you will be happy.

BTW, my SPF is about as non-traditional in engine choice as you can get without using some sacrilegious engine. When you open the bonnet, it is wall-to-wall small block. A Modmotor is essentially the same size as a SOHC engine, and it has a blower on top to add to the visual impact. Build what you want, and you will be happy.
