I was going to put my new 351 W in my 66 but the 289 A code with all its goodies is fast enough and, as everyone knows, you probably can't recover even 1/4 of your building costs on a used motor regardless how good it is. I am thinking maybe a four door sleeper (grandma car) in the light to medium weight range. The only thing I can come up with is a Maverick, Comet or Fairlaine. Any other suggestions that the 351 would fit into with minimal work and still look like a stock Civic could beat at the lights ???

There's this guy in my neighborhood that has a butt-ugly POS white 70s Ford station wagon that he drives everywhere he goes. Turns out it's got a Police Interceptor engine in it, and hauls ass. If it wasn't so damn heavy, it would be the ultimate sleeper.

My vote would be for a tail-fin Comet - butt ugly, but could be fun..

1966-68 Falcon Ranchero could be light enough, and be a handy parts getter.

Some people are having big fun with Fairmonts and Zephyrs if you want to go a little newer. These cars came in 2 door, 4 door, and wagons. The nice thing is you can use a lot of Fox-body Mustang hotrod stuff on one as the share the same chassis and drivetrain.

Is the 351W really high performance? Yeah, OK. How about a Fairmont wagon?

I'd like to see that web site, if you've got it...

I agree with the Fairmont! It has the fox chassis and already used the C-4 and an 8.8 inch rear. That or an actual fox body notchback mustang that just looked sleeper would work well.
