As to later Ford engines and and "boat anchors?" I'd agree with some of the Y-block 272,292, or 312s. But not some others.
I had a 64 Studebaker with the long-stroke "Pursuit Marshal" 289 V8 and a 66 Ford with the Ford HP 289 V8. The Ford was much more engine in my opinion. I'm no Ford-fan, but cannot complain about the little 221, 260, and 289 V8s. Great little engines. 1963 Falcon Sprint with the 260 V8 is one of the best cars I ever owned. Second favorite was my 65 Sprint with a 289. You could buy a brand new Falcon Sprint in 1965, with a 289 V8 and four speed trans for $2200. I never had one new, but kept buying them once a few years old and a lot cheaper.
I also had several Sunbeam Tigers with Ford 260 and 289 V8s (64 and 65) and all held up great. Called the "poor man's Shelby" at the time. British sports car with a Ford V8, Ford four-speed cast-iron trans, and a Jeep rear-axle.
Seems the last year or two with Studebakers, they quit using their own and changed over to Chevy engines.
