I kinda disagree with the small v8, go with a 350. You can make an engine idle right down low. I had one idle so slow you could read the belt as it went around. A good low rpm torquer cam, and you can probably drive at 1000 rpm if its stick. Keep it carbed, quadra jet, manual choke, lean the primary sob right out till you run 15:1 or leaner. Make the secondary open soon in case you want to get on it you don't stay lean. Overdrive tranny for sure. May not be the most efficient, but it will be fun.
