Good engine swap options

hmmm... you might be better off buying a turnkey engine ready to drop in with very little fuss/muss. converting swapping outside of LA will give you headaches of some sort or other.

MRL had a new build 340 listed on here a few days back, price was good and hp was great. you ***could build your own, but figure in $1000 for machine shop costs give or take, depending on how much you can do yourself. for instance, can you verify pushrod lenght, rocker clearances, main/rod bearing clearances, piston ring gap, balance the rotating assembly, etc. some people can, some can't. i'm not sure what category you fall under.

that's why i suggested getting something turnkey if you can. 318/340/360 are the easiest installs for you. swapping up to bigger/different stuff is cool, but there are lots of considerations. (expenses lol)
