I have to agree with the above comment about the FE engines.. The Ford small block engines, 289, 302 or the 351 windsor's, which are an over grown 302 hooked to a C4 trans makes a nice setup.
The nice thing about the 351W engine family is that they are very friendly to modern fuels where-as the 289, 302 is not..
