If your talking T1 engine, then the AJ code fuel injection case (no fuel pump hole) from '75 on is a good case to start from if you can find a good low miler. They are AS21 as compared to AS41. They have a better alloy content.
This is what my 2332 is based on.

I would go get a a Volvo 32c 1965 Vintage very hard to find but slips right into your Tranny and produces 350 hp. Parts are cheap. You should be able to put together a killer engine for about $692.00
