Thanks for the answers so far guys, any more are always appreciated.
In response to a couple of the questions/comments so far...
I'm not concerned about being able to fool the keenest eye with regards to the sleeper look. I just want it to generally resemble to the casual observer what a factory car (or one that was hot-rodded a bit in the 60s) might have looked like at the time. So, for example, I won't be putting fuel injection in there, etc.
Cool idea on the floor pan! I know I'm going to need to cut, but haven't yet put a lot of thought into how I'm going to "patch" that hole afterwards. I had just thought about bending some sheetmetal for it and covering it with carpet.
The 389s I've found so far are mid-60s vintage. I've read that the early ones (pre '63?) may not have provision for a block mounted starter. Are those something I should avoid?
