I vote for an older Fairlane, my '67 coupe weighed 3100 with FE, C6 and 9".

Shop truck.  Something you can actually use and get to enjoy at the same time.

Edit to add with a toploader. Or some sort of manual trans that's fun to shift.

Oddball combo needs to be in the right car :)

I like the 66-69 Falcon idea, or a 55-56 Ford. 

I know it would be a bit heavy, but ratty F100 would be cool too, being that so many 352s were truck engines.

Do you need/want a back seat to take the kids with you ? Obviously Mustang is always a good choice and easy to get parts , no back seat a 34 Ford would be cool too and show off the engine

I agree with shop truck so you can use it and count it off on your taxes  ;D

I will 2nd e philpott's '34 Ford recommendation.  Lot's of options, sedan if you want a back seat or pickup for the shop truck.  Could probably find an older build with a chebbie cheap.  Throw the SBC away and install the 352!  Think a slightly subdued version of the Iron Orchid.

I'm diggin the Falcon so far.  The engine is going to look '66-67 period correct, so it would fit in well.

This is the way to show the engine off.

This was my best friends coupe. He kept it in my garage. We took the Olds out and put my LR in it.

I have a pretty solid and straight 57 Ranchero that need a new home. Was already a hot rod, got taken apart for paint and never finished. Had a souped early 390 4/spd in it, has tilt column and front discs. Stainless is there and chrome has been re-done. 57s make great hotrods- and hotrod shop trucks

I do love those '57 Rancheros!  Would be super cool with a patina'd company logo.
