All 4-valve engines are drive by wire, however there is a cable going from the pedal to a spring that actuates an inexpensive throttle position sensor ($20 at your FLAPS) same setup on the Isuzu engine (Duramax) or a Navistar engine (Power Stroke)
If you want to keep it petrol, follow Jock's suggestion. A 383 stroker can be made for $2500 with great torque and plenty of top end by starting with a Vortec block and heads and an engine kit - plus you can build it to run on cheep pump gas.
The problems we face today can not be addressed at the same level of intelligence we were at when we created them - Albert Einstein Or with the same level of $ - Me
