I would use the GM 4 cylinder 3.0 (lots of them in marine applications) Iron Duke engine with a 5 speed and decent rear end gearing, say around 3 to 1 with a .75-80 OD 5th.

I put a 73 Nissan Z car engine in a 720 Pickup frame, with a 49 Plymouth businessmans coupe body, sectioned and channeled, with a 4 speed and it weighed 2350 when I fininshed, about 3200 stock.
