As a Moderator here ... and a old Ford owner ... I want to WELCOME YOU ...

You have a quite usual car combination ...
I suggest you investigate the Ford Granda spindle swap ... for the 56 Ford front suspension. It is fairly common ... for the Ford guys ...

Reworked Granda spindles here
http://www.fatmanfab.com/06page17.htm

Depending on where the body is mounted ... a 350 and a Glide should go ... but will take fabricated engine and transmission mounts.

Walker Radiator ( Memphis TN ) is now making radiators for the 50's Fords ...

Again WELCOME

Deuce ...
