2x4, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT think of repowering the truck with a DIESEL! I got into helping with a project about 5 years ago just like your situation. The diesel idea seemed good to this guy at the time, but it took major $$$$$ to make it work. Too many issues with switching to different fuel systems and electronics. Unless you have a good supply of 427 engines in your area, I would rework or find another 366. 427 engines that i have been around usually have been hot-rodded to near death and the parts for them are a little more expensive than most other engines. Look at how many old 366 gasers there are out there and how much work those old trucks have done! Me personally, that would be the way I would go.
