Do you want to run the BBM or just get a newer engine? 200,000kms isnt really that great.
Use the ED gearbox, tailshaft and diff and just change the motor.

EL engine is going to be about $4000 cheaper to get going.
If you are just after a lower K motor, you can just use your manifolds and accesories on an EL motor with a balancer swap. Or buy an XH tensioner and EL accessories so you can run the serpentine setup with the ED manifold. You will need thermos either way I think. You shouldnt need to change any wiring or make things hard for yourself.
