I've thought about this since I want to build a "rat" rod myself (It's not the HAMB, so I can say that!). I'm a Chevy guy, but wouldn't want to do a 350 in one. I'd like to do a nailhead, or keeping it Ford, maybe an FE, something totally different. But my ultimate would be an early Hemi, gold paint and all, just looks awesome. But actually I do have a nailhead now for a future project that I haven't bought yet (bought a 65 Riv last weekend, have a 455 that would be better suited for how I want to build the car).
As far as the 3 listed above, maybe the Jag V12 if it can be cleaned up enough. The V10 and Ecoboost are too ugly IMO, and it wouldn't matter if it got 500 hp and 30 mpg for me, honestly.
