All for under $1200ish.
You could do the stroker for under 1200, not including the engine swap that this guy needs.
Today, with the need for fuel efficientcy, a simple FI 4L is what this guy whats, i think. It will be a little more for this swap than putting in a 258, but in the end, it will be much more reliable.
PS, i myself did have the 258 carbed, and put the 4L head on it. A stroker would have been nice too.
