one option is to supercharge your existing 5K, you could use the orphaned SC12 (ex 4AGZE) too, would be a fantastic little performer. the only downside is the custom inlet manifolding required, but if you wanted to keep it cheap just use your weber inlet manifold and make a small plenum out of some old 3in exhaust. pick any number of throttle bodies to use (XF falcon is always a good one to use - nice and simple) and use old exhaust pipe to fabricate the piping.
with a microtech MT4 fuel only computer ($795) and an elec dizzy or MSD style ignition you could have it running VERY nicely indeed, would feel more like an NA 2.5L six to drive and be economical to boot. no rego issues either...
other than that, even the base model 16V 88kW 4AGE would be a great little engine in a body of that size, i'm sure there's heaps of info on how to get one into a KE20 if you searched.
just make sure you upgrade the brakes too.
