The 2.3 Ecoboost Mustang has a modern-emissions engine that is equal or superior to your 90's chev in every objective way. GM Probably has something similar somewhere if the idea of installing a four-letter-word engine doesn't excite you.

So there's that option, use a modern downsized performance engine in your early car that probably weighs less, especially with the engine swap. Ecoboost mustangs have run 11's down the 1/4 mile so they are definitely enough muscle, and the lighter engine would have to help handling.
