I never thought I would say this, but….
Sell the 356 to someone to power their 40-50 Senior. It has value to a restorer.
Use the modern engine already fitted in the truck/Ford chassis, along with the brakes and steering already there
In other words, add Packard body parts to a truck/Ford to create the rod. The mechanical stuff will at least have been designed to work together. All the mechanical parts will be available for service
