The biggest factor here is how much is the shell and what kind of condition is it in? Other than that an engine and tranny can be from an SVO, Turbo Coupe, or XR4Ti, and depending on your area can be fairly easily had.

If the SVO specific parts are all there, and the shell isn't all rusty it sounds good. You can probably get an engine and tranny for $400-$500.
SVO pieces to look for: Entire front end minus the fenders Taillights Exterior trim pieces Wheels Rear Spats Window Louvres Double wing Shifter knob and boot Steering pad "Fuzzy" dash panels
There are a few more, but those are the first to come to mind. What year and color?

Trbopwr is correct. Look for those parts from what I read. Most are expensive to get or only available used. He would be best to ask. As far as motor. Not really a problem. Usually a turbocoupe motor or donor car on e-bay all the time.
