With the 200, the selection of auto-overdrive transmissions may not be great, that is why I suggest the widely available T-5.
I would very strongly recommend you go to the following website: FORDSIX PERFORMANCE • Index page
The people there are awesome.

I could break 20 with my old 65 (200, auto, port divider, breakerless, pony carb). The biggest thing for it was drafting since the aero was so bad.
I was looking at a 66. I had lined up the full running gear from a mazda diesel truck (5 speed / perkins base). The deal on the shell fell through, and I ended up with a vx instead.
