that is one small engine compartment...if i were you i would be looking to put a b series motor in there...another thing is axels, what kind of axels would you put in there, the wiring will probably not be as bad as you think, but it will be a bitch. you may have to fab some sort of shift linkage. that is one hell of a project car.... lose those wheel well covers it will make the car look dope...good luck man.
