Default FE engine swap

Ok so I am looking at getting a 67 Ford Galaxie , 2 Door , Hardtop. I would really like the Thunderbird 428 or the Cobra 427 for engines. However they seem to be pretty hard to find and when I do find them they are quite pricey. So here is the question , out the Ford big block options , what engine do you prefer , easiest to work on , power , price ect. I am not really looking for originality here , just power and an easy swap. Also not fuel injection , so not too modern.

Also I am not entirely sure which engines will be the easiest swaps. I beleive the engine options were 240 , 289 , 390 , 427 , 428. I know there are some variations of most of these engines. I am looking to put the biggest engine in the car possible that I can basically drop in. I reallize I will have to change out the trany most likely. By drop in I mean , not changing motor mounts much , cutting out fenders or any other fabricating. Thanks in advance for any advice.
