I have an inline six 68 coupe also. I have done a lot of research on swapping to a V8. The swap to a modern fuel injected 5.0 appeals most to me. There are several companies which specialize in these swaps. One good source is Windsor-Fox. I'm not sure if they do carburated 302 or not. You would definately have to replace the transmission, radiator, drive shaft, rear axle, and brakes. Some suspension work may be required also to get the car riding good. It can be done, and would be a very enjoyable improvement over the six, but it does require a lot of work and careful planning.
Windsor-Fox has a good web page, there are also several good disc brake coversion kits available, a five lug conversion for the front would be needed to match the larger rear end also.
I hope this info helps you.
