Well, if the weight offends you, a Benz OW617 engine would weigh about the same as your small-block and give you good mileage and outstanding durability.
30 MPG would be a snap for it. And no cantankerous EPA-limited electronics.
BUT...the acceleration would be terrible, even by eco-modder standards and getting a manual transmission to fit probably involves a trip to Germany.
Maybe, it you never load it much a VW TDI engine might work.
