The hard part for me would be the electronics mainly because I don't want Em.
Fuel would be easy. Ignition maybe not. Sure would be nice though 1700 motor, stock pickups, ignitech or dyna, carbs. If it were possible someone would have done it by now right? As far as too much power? Really? With all the blowers,turbos,n.o.s and don't forget the countless big bore motors surely 200 hp has been eclipsed.
How much does one of those new motors go for anyway? Maybe that's why it's not being done. I mean besides all the other rational reasons.
And as far as v8 Vega's go never had one but I did have a few v8 monza's and yeah they were sideways a lot. And none of the stories ever started with "remember that time we were driving your moms escort?"
