I'd put a '70 spec 500ci in it, with some head work and a cam upgrade. You can make amazing torque with all those cubes, and it'd be so much easier to bolt in than an LS1 conversion. But I like easy projects and old tech in old cars. Plus, the 472-500ci Cadillac engines are just about the best sounding V8s ever, IMO. 
Anyway, welcome and good luck with your project!
