Buy a Volvo B280F engine and a Dodge Monaco/Eagle Premier engine.
From the Volvo engine use:
- engine block
- throttle body
- intake manifold
- camshafts (note: for better lift, instead use camshafts from B280E engine, Volvo part numbers 247957 and 247959)
- engine management system (fuel & spark computers, sensors, etc.)
From the Eagle/Monaco engine use:
- cylinder heads
- cylinder liners
- flywheel sensor
Obviously if you're going carbureted you can ignore his suggestions for engine management. You also can't use the camshafts he recommended, either, since you wouldn't have a gear to turn your distributor. (I have a 3.0L, but it uses 2.85L camshafts because the engine has a traditional distributor and mechanical fuel pump.)
