In the 60s it would have been popular, now it's sacrilege. Good grief, why not just put a 454 in it with a blower sticking out the top, a 4 foot shifter with a skull knob, duel side pipes and 12 inch slicks on the back! Wouldn't be any worse. Ok I'm just an old fa-t and reluctant to change on our T cars.
I guess it could be worse, such as:

We all have seen engine swaps in the TD. V8's were not unusual in the 50's/60's. While I don't like the wheels. As the article says, putting this back to stock looking outside would give you an interesting ride.

Looks like someone put in a good amount of time and effort to get this conversion done up well.

May not be your cup of tea, but I think it is a nice conversion.
