the main advantages are very easy access to components and reasonably light weight, resulting in an easy to work on and fun to own hot rod with blistering acceleration, if its designed correctly,and if your good at fabricating you can vastly improve on the suspension and weight transfer issues also.
after beating yourself silly on cramped modern engine compartments these can be a real pleasure to work on.
.
PLUS you can easily get creative and design the car to meet your idea of the correct components, its no big challenge to install a modern HEMI,, and old 392 hemi, a Buick, Pontiac or about anything you can dream up as a drive train, or a DANA 60 rear , CORVETTE, or JAG, rear suspension,or even DUAL big block ENGINES if you have fabrication and design skills
 
IF money was not so scarce, I would have most likely built a stack injected big block with a 4l80e trans.

and used a DANA 60 rear differential

in any personal built T-bucket and had 4 wheel disc brakes and
a 4L80E transmission,

I doubt the results would be much faster, than a properly built small block with a bit less horse power ,because traction at that weight level and suspension and tires will limit the ability to get power to the ground effectively .
its just that Ive usually dealt with, and built far more engines with similar too those components and feel comfortable using those as a basis.
Id also have put some thought into installing a roll cage to add a bit of rigidity and safety
