Hugh,
Not to rain on the parade, but remember your 16 year old son is going to be driving this car. When I was 16, my dad bought me a 66 Mustang that needed some serious work. I learned a ton about cars, and how to take care of them.
Mine had the little 200 ci straight 6 in it and I still managed to get myself in trouble. Just keep that in mind, thats all.
Ofcourse I still have the Mustang 14 years later, and it even still has the 6 banger in it but its also got:
3 one barrel Webers with a progressive linkage
6-2 header with dual flowmasters and no crossover pipe.
3.03 3-speed out of a 289 car.
Electronic Ignition
Ported and Polished with head with some other goodies.
It will go like a ba$tard till about 55-60 mph where you run out of gear. No one belives its a 6 until I open the hood. So not everything have to be a huge v-8. Oh yeah the insurnace was ALOT less too.
Bill
