Two options IMO, buy a running 350 for $400 or a crate for $4000+. A "rebuilt motor" can turn into a nightmare money wise and/or leaks/problems. If a $400 motor does not pan out you are only out a little money. If seller says "rebuilt", don't buy that one. Pre 73 motors (pre smog)are more HP but they, of course, are older/more miles. Find one you can hear, see, smell and compression test. If you are not a shifter type guy, an automatic is easier to install, easier to drive, great OD and cheaper to rebuild. Quadrajet or Edelbrock carb with aluminum intake is a good idea. All the rest has been answered. This is an easy swap with using the universal tubular type motor and tranny cross members. It will look just great under there. Lokar makes an automatic nostalgic shifter that looks like a truck 4 speed. I've owned many TF burbs and panels. My favorites!
