So much of the answer will depend on what use he will have for the final product when done. For sure building a Briggs & Stratton is way easier than a small block. But will there be a use for the engine when done?

A small block will drop right into a ton of different car projects. No doubt more 32 Fords have a 350 Chevy engine than Ford engines. And there are a zillion old Chevrolet vehicles from Corvette to pickup to 4 door cars.

It takes lots more space for a car, but in the end if he ends up with a car he can drive and sell, he will have learned a lot of very practical knowledge.
