Tim,

Keep the engine and transmission build simple. Small blocks all look the same from the outside, a 302/345hp Ford crate engine would look great with a period correct set of exhaust manifold/headers and valve covers. Intake is your choice but a simple 4V carb (sized accordingly) and dual plane manifold works wonders for driving.............
