I just want modern day usability since i do not plan to make it a weekend only car. They are meant to be driven, and that's what i want to do. But the world is vastly different than almost 90 years ago.

Ken, Yes, I agree with your need of air conditioning in Arizona, so I guess it's a SBC in the works for you. That's the easiest way to get where you need to be.
Something else did catch my eye, though, something that most rodders never consider... you mentioned two piece seats? I take that to mean buckets? Don't for a minute think that any seat replacement could be anywhere near as comfortable as your stock Ford/Mercury seats of the era. Think twice before replacing your armchair luxury.
