There is some info on the Jimmy v-6 here. http://www.6066gmctrucks.org/ Some of the vendors onthe links page have some parts. http://www.stovebolt.com/links/parts.htm I think Kantor's lists some some engine parts, and probably some of the other vendors as well. With bell house, motor mounts and motor mount brackets from a v-8 truck, a small block chevy will bolt in.

Don't expect to win any races with it but it will do good in tractor pulls. If you want a go-fast truck, put in a v-8. If you want a heavy hauler, stick with the 351.
