My dad had a 60's Fiat with the 2300 6. Not very stylish but I liked the hemi 6 all aluminum except the block. Had aluminum fined brakes. The plan was to build a midget around it and stuff me in it. My mom put an end to that. Anyway how about Hall Scotts? A condemed ww1 airplane engine that found its way into trucks and buses made into late 60's, 1091 cid sohc,cross flow head and two sparkplugs per cylinder. Too big? There was a "baby scott" 590 cid same features as the big motor. Now with some firewall work maybe some front springs and a tough rearend we have fat fender hot rod that still sounds like a 6. Bring that big block v thing over here and lets see what you got If a little is good More is better And too much is just right
