SVO turbo 4 will probably get most HP and with those small cu in V8's the TQ wouldn't be that far off. There are tons of parts or at least there were. Add the turbo and fuel injection and you would meet all your criteria in a cheap low weight package that is a bolt in.

Long rods, high compression, long intake runners (for torque)gearing to take advantage of the torque for low rpm crusing.

I like the low rpm torque ideal.

Put a 6 speed behind it, and idle down the highway at about 1200 rpm.
Could probably get 30 mpg, even with a carb. Spring for a wideband tunner.
