What is the ET limit on a bolt-in roll bar? Watson and others have really nice kits that bolt in for these cars.

Or welded to 6" x 6" plates attached with (4) 3/8" bolts.
The floorpan is sandwiched in between the plates

First I have heard of that.
There are some in the 9's now but I have never heard of an aftermarket block for the 2.3 EB.

Is there a particular reason it has to be chrome moly and not mild steel ?

It doesn't HAVE to be, but this thing would be a little bit of a porker, so saving an extra 20 pounds of steel seems like a good thing to do.

Wow.

This 2015 Ecoboost Mustang with an automatic ran UNDER the K/SA index, hundreds of pounds overweight and stone stock right down to the tires, except for an aftermarket "tune" that picked up 64 horsepower:
