Default Motor Combo

I'm wanting to do a motor swap but Im not quite sure what to go with. I think a carbed 351w would be sweet, but i was also thinking of a EFI 302/306 setup with some boost later on down the road. This is going to be for a street setup and done on a $2000 budget. It has to be reliable and wont kill me on gas milage. Ive got a friend who can get me a good deal on a donor car either 90-92 or 94-95, which will give me everthing I need for the 302/306 swap. The 351w block I can get for a good deal, it just needs cleaning. Then I would have to get all the other parts for it (crank, rods, pistons, etc.). Speed wise Im looking for low 13s. Ive got a 94 V6 with 128k miles, so a motor swap wouldnt be to bad. This 16.7sec V6 just isnt much fun, but it gets me around. You guys have any suggestions on what I should go with? Also give me a good heads/cam setup to go with the carbed 351w and 302/306. Thanx for the info.
