I think when deciding where to install any "intersting" engine, a fundamental rule can be followed...
Don't backdate engineering / technology.
Most enthusiasts will agree, that when compared to 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's, even early 70's ( with the exception of world class exotics ).... contemporary vehicle styling / construction, is second rate at best. Whereas in many cases ( if not most ), the mechanical efficiency of the engines and drivelines, has advanced.
What I'm saying, is swapping a bigger and / or more efficient engine into an older car, makes COMPLETE sense, and has been done since the first cars. However, it makes no sense to take an intersting, but dated powerplant, and install it in a newer vehicle.
It would be like taking a 48 Ford flathead V8, and installing it in a 63 Galaxie. sure, it's an intersting engine, and a nice car.... but a pretty silly thing to do.
If a person is determined to not install a 348/409 in an originall-equipment-type car..... there are still many intersting vehicles to put it in. To me, of course, the Willys is the holy grail.
