i would go to gm and pick up a intake and exhaust header for the tbi 400 model i have one compleate with tbi unit wiring harness and computer i plan to put into something some day. the tbi models came with a factory shortie header and produced better fuel economy and preformance than there carbed brothers and gm tbi is unsurpassed for reliability and simpicity even a amiture could wire up one in a weekend
 
If you are going to do the engine switch, you might concider putting a thre or fou cylinder diesel in there instead. More low end power and you will get double or better the range. You can still mate up an auto trans, but pull the entire setup out of a smaller car/truck with the diesel package already.

Having had the imp with the gas, had I kept it, I was concidering doing that. You can also installed a diesel fired heater to preheat and heat the cab without running the engine.
 
If you still have it how much for the V-4? I have a 72 that had a worn out balance shaft gear I replaced the gear but has just not run right since.
