I have done many odd-ball engine swaps and can give a little advice. If a V-8 swap is really what you want, go get a 4.0 Range rover and use a early intake/ carb / dist. It dimensionally the same as the 215 . Should be plenty of these out there since the engine was one of the things that was decent from RR.
A small block ford is narrower (sp?) than a Chevy and the stock exhaust manifolds sit closer to the block making an easier time swapping.
-OR- Swap in a early Datsun OHC 6 if you have enough room length wise. These are a dime a dozen, light weight and respond well to hot-rod parts.
