Any of your small block chevy stuff is going to be pricey to be honest even just to run the index . Most of the Chevy combos are hit pretty good with H.P . As far as " dropping in " a stocker motor you are prob going to have to have at least a 5:13 gear , $1000 for a good converter and $2500 for a good turbo 200 or 350 trans . The 72 small block combo isn't to bad I think its rated at 270hp and will run H/I/J stock with means it could weigh 3275 to 3545 pounds depending on class you run. Engine you are looking at a minimum $6500 and I am not even sure that would do it for something to run the index or a little under a GOOD piece more like $12000 to $20,000
