There are just as many parts available for Fords as there are for Chevys, if you look at the classifieds on the Ford racing websites like Hardcore50.com and others you can find just about any Ford part you want used or new. Also there is no significant difference between the cost of parts between the brands except for the cost of low deck blocks where the Ford race quality blocks are significantly cheaper.

Your engine builder is right, it will be real costly. All Comp engines are expensive. If your builder is going to charge more for a Ford, get a builder who knows Fords.
