Doing the work yourself it would be possible to do it for about 3 grand. But its going to be close if you farm the work out. Most Disc brake conversions cost about 700+ dollars, but you could do the junk yard approach.
As for the engine, it would be cheaper to go ahead and just put yourself a carburated 289 or 302 in it, hell even a 351W, but with fuel injection you'll start upping the cost big time since you arent doing the work.
I'm tossing around the thought of fuel injecting my 289.
I'd tackle things like the brake conversion first at the same time converting everything over like the rearend since your going to put a V8 in it. Then check your budget and go from there.
This is how my priorities go when it comes cars and modifying.
1. Safety (brakes, ditch that single resivior master cylinder)
2. Speed/performance
3. Handling
4. Looks
