To reiterate, even though it's not the easiest choice, I was hoping to pair an OHV V8 with the original drive train due to the uniqueness of the manual 3 speed with overdrive. Something that I could hang an A/C compressor on, too? I would like to adapt a modern air filter cartridge to the oil bath air cleaner to keep close to the original look as well. Even though I might have an FiTech FI unit under it. I think there's motor mounts for almost anything but the issue is the driveline connection. A 302 would be nice but I don't know of any adapters available. The Y-Block seems to be the only thing close to working out.
