My first choice would be a BOP 455 engine, but the problem is the bolt pattern. Probably have to run a BOP TH400 or a Muncie with a BOP bellhousing, and they don't have the greatest 1st gear ratio for a truck. But with all that torque...
Second choice would be a torquey Chevy small block. I know, many consider them "boring", but you can't beat the economy to own one and have up to twice the torque as a stovebolt engine. Especially if you put a small supercharger on it, such as a Wieand 144 or 177 roots.
Third choice would be to add a power adder for forced induction on a stovebolt engine. And that would give you more of an original feel, but still have around the power of a naturally aspirated Chevy 350.
