Talk about a win-win.
I would add some trick Cragar SS mags to it... you know the old school 5 spokes. With a ride that big, I would consider a 16"x8". Really fill in those wheel wells. Would super pop against the red/white two tone.
Those would rock.
As for the motor, there are some kick-ass 360 based crates available. This is vs cutting up a nice original 318, that is.
I would leave it a manual... if the tree gets icky, you can always do a floor conversion, and if the three speed packs it up, get a nice 5 spd for it. But keep the manual. In fact, I would consider the 5spd floor shifter now, and preserve the original 3spd.
Oh she is staying a manual trans on the column. It has a set of full hubcaps I will probably run those. The wide whites are newer cokers and those are staying. Love that look. I haven't been this excited over a car in forever if ever.
