You can install anything and do a hot rod conversion and install aftermarket gauges etc. Nothing engine or tranny wise will run through the ECU as Dirtman just mentioned.
To start with you need a tach pulse to the ECU to enable the fuel pump. You are better off getting an LS and 6 speed auto for both power and economy. But if you want to go carb route then SBC is ok. You can get a conversion kit for 241J TCase to Chev Auto such as 400R4 etc.
Good luck and post photos if you start the project.
