What are you even looking to build here? I like picking people's brains for information on engines, but without knowing what you're trying to make is gonna keep us from giving good feedback.

As for the atlas I’ve seen there is someone swapping one into a checker.

Maybe you could swap one into a first gen Colorado/canyon or h3. All 3 of these did use an inline 5 that’s derived from the atlas.

Do you already own these four engines?  There are better choices than any of the ones you listed, I think.  The hemi would be the best choice of the bunch, except they are hard to find and expensive when you do.  Regular cab early Dakota with a 5.7 would rock.  I think the GM inlines are scrap.  The Volvo is a lovely motor, but what trans will you bolt to it?  Swap the assembly in the back of a Civic, maybe.  The four cam Ford is massive and slow.  Use the Coyote instead.  Better in every way 

Dog, why in the hell would I use a Coyote when a 4V is literally a junkyard Mark VII away? Do you think they're cheap? lol

Mark VII: fox body, complete with 5.0/302.

Mark VIII: DOHC 32 valve mod motor.
