Ignoring the engine for a moment, the body looks like it's in good 
shape. Is the rest of the car OK (suspension bushings, shocks, brakes, 
seat leather, headliner, etc.)? If the car is in great shape except for 
lack of power, then by all means put the effort into an engine swap. But 
if the rest of the car needs work, you may be better off putting the 
time and resources into fixing the problems on a 20V, instead.

Free advice freely given and worth every penny.
