Most likely gonna do this weekend (stay away snow)!
The 250 we ended up getting is out of a 77 Granada. They wanted 300 for the engine alone, 400 for the engine and trans...so hey. Turns out, for the $400, they towed to place we're doing the work, told us to take whatever we need and they'll pick it up when we're done.
So i'm gettin the 250 4.1liter I6, with the Carter RSB 1v carb, still has the stock airfilter (weee Ram air) the duraspark electric ignition, Trans (another C4) and prolly alot of other odds and ends we can take off here and there like the sway bar. Not a bad deal for $400, and lookin forward to gettin it back on the road this weekend.
Also had a friend give me a 69 Gran Turino scoop for $20 incase i run into problems with hood clearance and mounts turn out to not drop it enough.
I'll post pics when its done. Depending on snow tomorrow, gonna paint/undercoat the engine compartment and engine since its all out while so its ready to go in Saturday.
Thanks again to all for the links, suggestions and even the negative feedback
