Restomod or Original OEM style?? - Feedback Appreciated!

Great feedback everyone, thanks! You've give me a lot to think about. I am keeping the current 4.5" bolt pattern to accommodate the centerlines that came with the car (they are the real thing and I plan on having them powdercoated). I am not worried about numbers matching or anything since it was originally a 6 cyl. I feel like there is some middle ground that can be achieved here and based on what everyone has said I am going to do more research before I spend the money. I have looked at the Alter-K-ion site as well and they have some great stuff.

One of these days I will post some pics so you can see what the baseline is and then how it will be coming along. Last total resto I did was a 65 mustang and it turned out amazing. I knew nothing and worked outwards from there via helpful sites like this and YouTube vids. I sold it for more than I invested and I think that was a win. But this one will be a keeper....something to pass down to my son.
