Another F-head.

Seriously, there's nothing that's a direct swap but another F or L-head.

So you're left with the age old dilemma, which engine to use. Personally I'd go with the Buick V6, either a 225 or a 231 from a RWD car.

Might browse through here: http://earlycj5.com/TechIndex.shtml and see what you find. I've got some stuff there that might help.
