everything other than stock will require mounts, crossmember and sometimes driveshaft fabrication...

there is a member here who is doing a Ford 460!

J13...:P
then if you have to mod it, go for what's available...

if there is a L, vg, fj, ka, ca or sr available in your budget, do it!

You can find a Datsun Roadster U20 motor and 5 speed to install easily, hard to locate though.

If you get away from installing the J13, they do have J16 motors also.  Anything else would need to fabricate motor mounts and or tranny mounts, along with possible oil pan mods, and driveshaft.
