Called on a 366 engine today, would it be illegal to bring it home swinging from the booms on the back of the truck?
So in my mind, 300-320hp is where I am shooting for. There's a Canadian company that grinds cams for the 366. So a cam, porting the heads some, intake manifold, and headers should put the thing right in that ball park.
A tall deck 427 would be cooler.
***I know a 366 is a boat anchor, but I could give two flying poops. It is correct for the truck and I just want it to make sweet noise and scare old ladies. Yes, there will be exhaust cut outs. Rolling into a cruise night with the cut outs open and a semi-lumpy idle will raise some eyebrows.

366 a boat anchor? Who cares?!?!? This thing ain't for dragracing anyway. I'd be happy with 250hp, but more torque! Is there a way to grind a cam to sound lumpy, but still make good bottom end?
Although with the dumptruck/tow truck gearing....a 283 that will turn to 7000rpm might be more appropriate! You just have to take your time between shifts!
I'm sure if you put out a bangshift barn raising engine swap call, you'll get a ton of help! (since you like period correct I see a tree limb and a chain hoist...)
But if it runs good as is...might be hard to break it apart! Is the sixxer solid, or does it need help?
Will make a sweet cruiser that can have a function!
