I was curious as to what series of model you have: In my Chevy book the Belair 4dr. is listed at 3,275#, the 210 at 3,250#, and the 150 at 3,215#.
I mentioned that so that a better math head on here than myself might help formulize a plan for your other ratio's.
Due to the future economy, I'd either go w a near stock 6cyl. w a manual, or go w a 6.2 Bio-Diesel.
No one can really formulate until you make your final eng., trans., picks.
It does sound like that the rear end ratio's that you mentioned would work w a V8 or a 6.2!
On a lighter note, is that your stock grille is probably strong enough to offer bumper like protection, so that you could eliminate the front bumper, and build a cool airdam! Moon discs would look great on there.
Do you follow JUNK YARD LIFE on line? They recently had a spot on there about a '53!
My greatest memory of my Grandfather was his '54 Chev.
I hope a more math then me guy will chime in here to help you.
Aloha!
