1950's full size chevy/lsx?

They have quite a few older chevy trucks and cars. I'm doing 55 second series myself.

I have a 48' F-1 Ford 1/2T, after I get done with my Chevelle Swap (soon I hope), it will either be a swap for my 71 Nova or the Truck..!

What do you guys think ?

50 Ford
 
I am in the middle of building a 1950 Ford Two door sedan. It will have a 6.0L and 4l60e along with a 6 or 6 1/2" chop. It should be some good fun. My dad (a old time Ford guy) hates the idea of a chevy in a ford, but I have to use the best engine out there. oh, and buy the way I am sure it will smoke any one of his cars....
