The Camaro/Nova/Monte... front clip has several good sides, depending on what matters to you: Sturdy, OEM design that will carry your truck without effort (some people think the Mustang 2 system is too flimsy...), including daily or real truck use. It is also easy to find spares anywhere when you need repairs, and there is a lot of aftermarket options available. I also quite like the factory looks of the sheet metal A-arms, as opposed to the "fancy" looks of aftermarket kits.
I have a '77 Camaro front clip under my '57 Suburban, and it is the perfect width.
As for mounting an older engine on those clips, you may have to be creative... Although, if you just like an inline 6, the 250 engine came stock in '70s Camaros...
