There are a few people on a BBS I belong to who are putting the old
Buick 215 into a Vega/Monza. One of them has used a buch of internals
from a late model Land Rover to get the displacemet up to 4.9L.
 
Another one some people are doing is the Buick 350, as I am told it's
much lighter than the equivalent SBC (though not as light as the
aluminum Buick), and bolts up to the later stock Buick 231 V6 mounts in
the Monza.

The neat V8 to use is the ol' aluminum Buick. :-) And, I'm told Rover
has made some worthwhile improvements to their version of that engine...
