Drop that thing into an Arrow, rwd Colt, Cricket, 2wd D50 pickup, etc. and go fry tires. Drive it like you stole it, and when/if you scatter it, the u-pull yards will have the next engine. I wouldn't spend a lot on a 318 build, just basic gasket/ring/bearing job and a 340 cam. 
I suggested he drop it in his Stealth a couple months back. Wouldn't be any faster than the TTV6 versions, maybe even marginally so than the stock R/T V6, especially at the 4200# those cars weigh, but would sure be fun to hear a V8 out of a former FWD car.
I have thought about that, but I just figured it would be too much of a hassle. Plus I would have to convert it from front to rear wheel drive. Not only that, but in CA, if you do an engine swap, the engine has to be the same year or newer than the car itself, so it will be a battle with the DMV and Smog
