This is my first choice for a Chevy engine. I have been contemplating what I would need to do with mounts and clutch linkage in my '65 using my '64 dual quad 409.
A non Chevy engine choice would be a toss up between the much loved 401 Nailhead or a full tilt 455 olds.

I have an '05 Bonneville GXP with the Northstar and it is a great engine! You can buy them brand new from Speedway Motors for about $3500. There is a guy out here that has one in a front engine dragster with a custom Hilborn injection and it looks at first glance like a 392... I think this would be a great combo for a cruiser but you have to get the cooling system in order as these things don't like high temps.
