    51 ford sedan- selecting motor- SBC or SBF

     



    I just picked up a 1951 Ford sedan. The car will have a M-II front clip. The guy who is installing it for me has asked me what motor + trans I plan to put in it. I was debating between a small block chevy (350 probably) or a small block ford (5.0 or 4.6). I was thinking also about going with a fuel injected motor (maybe out of a newer mustang or camaro). Any reason I should go one way or the other? Or is it just personal preference at this point? Any way easier or cheaper? Does one brand have a better tranny to choose from (auto)?
