Re: Which is best?
You need as light a car as possible, to stack up against all the "big" motors. For a road car, a 2nd generation Camaro is pretty good, but a bit heavy. For a drag car, use a Vega or Monza. Early Novas (Chevy II) are popular, too. '68-'74 Novas are also popular. Whatever you decide, be sure to use a Chevy motor in a Chevy body.
Tough they're outside your target age, the '78-'87 G-bodies (Malibu, Monte Carlo) are quite good. The chassis can take a lot of power. The cars aren't too heavy. Lots of good parts available, and the cars are plentiful and cheap.

Re: Which is best?
Hot Rods will put Chevy 350's in anything. Look at all those old Fords with Chevy motors. If the body was a 6 Cyl. car, you might have to do some more work than if it already had a V8. Front suspension, motor mounts, trans., driveline ect. Save your money up front so you don't get dicouragerd with the cost of a motor swap and give up on the project.
