The 235 will be a nice upgrade with room to grow later; aluminum heads, better cam...
Money is not the deciding factor, but it is a factor.
With the ~$2k saved, I can get a better tranny and/or disc brakes.
I did look at the ford stuff but waaaaay out of my league.
Also thought about rebuilding original engine but have too many projects as it is, and money wise, its not too much more to get a drop in crate engine.

My advice would be to buy what you want now rather that add heads, cam, etc. The complete matched package will run better than monkeying with it. You can actually go backwards changing out things.
