Jim,

Welcome to the list!  Brent is correct, buy a good bodied car.  You will 
spend less time, effort and possibly money by going this route.  Motors are 
easier to rebuild than a car body, unless you are a body repair man by 
trade.  I made that mistake in my youth - bought a '67 Rustang for the 
motor.  She ran great, but had more metal in the radiator than in the floor 
boards.  She'd do over a 135 mph on long stretch of Kansas road, but the 
carpet would be hitting the headliner due to the air coming through the 
floor!  Buy for a body, not for a motor, especially if the car is going to 
be a clone.  The 440 is a good idea as well.  My 2C.

Buck
