My dad's first new car was a 69 Plymouth Satelite wagon (triple bench) used to haul the family across country and back (twice). Had a 318 and a 2 barrel with a Chrysler torqueflight 3speed. darn strong car. Rusting away in the late70's/ early 80's, known to my friends as the Royal Imperial Land Yacht, it would walk all over new TA's. Shock the heck out of the guys driving the Camaros. 10:1 compression, no emissions, 225 hp straight to the shaft. The engine had enough torque it used to roll and break the right mount (then the right collector tube... only barked when tromped on.)  If you're going to put a non-GM engine in your truck, you could go far worse than a 318 or a 440. Be different, too! 
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
