I like the truck idea
I would find a Craftsman Truck Series rolling frame or have one built, put the motor in and hang either a 53 Chevy, 55 Chevy or 53 Ford F100 body on it. With that much motor you would want to be 1. Very safe 2. Be able to enjoy all of that power. You could track it, open road race or take it to the drags.
I can;t remember the guys name, but he had a pretty bad ass 55 chevy that he did trackdays with that made a few magazines...but I think it got wrecked. I think that he had either reinforced the stock frame with a cage or had a tube frame built.
I think the motor is too long but putting it in a Pantera would be cool too.
