Opinions on 318 Needed

Well so far the plan for the car is just a nice driver nothing fancy. I just want something reliable that I can take out and have a little fun with. I'm not building it for speed I just want a nice driver. But plans thus far are a little foggy at first I planned on just leaving it mostly how it is, but the more I think about it I am leaning towards converting it to bucket seats. For the most part though I plan on leaving most of it the way it is. I don't plan on building it until I get my 56 Chevy done and being in college my budget is going to be minimal so plan is a nice budget built daily driver.
