Build an 8-bit CPU from scratch

Oh, that's interesting (and way outside my knowledge bubble). You reckon it would actually work as a 6502, or it's remarked from an entirely not-65xx CPU?

Both are possible. I guess there's a 70% chance that the chip is not a 6502 at all, nevertheless still a 30% chance that the chip is salvaged from trash and remarked but its silicon die is authentic.

There's a decent chance it's actually a 6502, but the actual part that's under those markings could be any one of a number of 6502s from many different manufacturers.
