Dude!!!! You have a 70 FB? You just answered your own question in my opinion! Build that puppy, those are GREAT cars, and still a bit different than the real mainstream cars (Camaros, etc, nothing wrong with them either). Funny, these share a ton of the same downfalls as the Chev II you had been considering, i.e. the suspension, so solving the issues for this car relative to the deuce is a wash. And, you don't need to drop mega coin to buy the donor car. A solid 351W is an excellent motor, and easily comparable to the Ramjet 350 in terms of price and performance (pretty close anyway), but for certain, STEP AWAY FROM THE 5.0!!!!! I have chunked two of them, in very basic mod'd form on the street, the blocks are very thin.
I know this company that can certainly help with "certain" aspects of the build!!!
Go Pony!!!
