I don't think the problem with your '51 is the front clip/suspension; that's actually pretty decent for a 1950s car. If the L8 and Ultra is in fact junk, then I personally have no problem dropping in something else. I've personaly seen Caddy 472s, SBCs, Pontiacs (350-400-455) and probably anything else you'd like/could find since the engine compartment is large, the possibilities are extensive.

The rest of the car can remain as is, except if it has a BTV. If it has manual brakes, then you are good to go on that one too since it doesn't sound like this going to end up to be a daily driver.
