I just picked up an 04 Oxford White 5-speed, 70k miles. Really wanting to do this swap. Being its almost 15 years since these cars came out, would it be ill-advised to begin this trek? Are some parts completely 100% impossible to find?

Congrats on the purchase! Yes the Eaton swap is still a good choice. But with engine swaps going for just a little more, you might consider finding a take-out 03/04 cobra drivetrain that gives you the forged engine and T56 transmission. I did that on my latest Mach1 and it is by far better money spent.
Of course as mentioned by user 311-420, your total expense and money dropped into the car is going to go up, but if making the car your-own is important and you plan to keep it, then go for it.
That's just what I did! Haha!
I can say I probably have the most expensive Mach1 with 114k miles on it. LOL.
