will any 200 engine drop into another? 200

Well I bought a rust free 240 circa 1976. These are very uncommon where I come form (by the way). I was planning to Fix this one up for my son(s) age 7 and 5. I'm giving myself barely enought time for this. I was initially planning to swap the motor from my '79, but now I'm beginning to think about swapping a newer motor (perhaps form a wreck) and I was wondering what the boardsters reccommend for a simple(ish) doable engine swap. Probal=bly the newest motor available provided I can get the guts form a donorand don't have to pick around at every boneyard in a tri-state area.

Oh, the stats: '76 245 manual, overdrive. green. interior mods. Seized due to lack of lubricant.
