I would use KD (high compression 115hp B18B) or KN (high compression 118hp B20B) needles depending on which style of needle you have. Both are pretty much the same and work great on healthy stock to mild engines. BBB are first choice with HIF SU's.

Next, you need an electronic dizzy from a B20 powered 240.

It does not matter what block is running happily in your car, it matters when you rebuild. E block is best so long as it does NOT have metric main bolts in them, those things need a serious bolt upgrade. Head choice depends if and who is going to port it.
