Well.. You're better off just throwing in a V8..

If you wanna build it, might as well throw some ponies under the hood.

because stock 350's have like what 215hp??? Mine did anyway. lol.

But the point is, its light, and its two cylinders shy of a 350.

Get a np203 just kidding

If you're building a crawler, why the fenders, the paint, the new engine? If I were in your shoes, I'd get gears, lockers, more gears and some armour.

you're over-complicating things in my opinion.
if its missing a ton of wiring, then you're going to have to hunt down EVERYTHING..
