Any engine swap that's cheap will fail smog checks in counties that do them and the car will not be street legal.

Given budget, needs, your claimed capability & knowledge, and location, get a smog legal supercharger kit. ~50% power increase, reliable, plug and play in a weekend, street legal.

That is what I was recommending to him today. I think if he does not want the body or frame modified he would be better going with a turbo or like you said a supercharger kit. The area he lives in does smog checks so yea it would most likely fail smog unless he wanted to spend the extra cash for it. It honestly sounds like he might want to back out of this project after I told him more of what I have been reading up on his car.
