So this may be a bit out there but how about a salvaged RV with a diesel pusher drive train? Moves the engine towards the back of the vehicle. Less noise in the cab. I have a couple of friends that started out with gas big block GM/Ford RV's and I wouldn't say they hated them power/mpg wise but after ponying up for RV's with diesel pushers they said they would never go back. COPART has many salvaged RV's
Small cube 4.8 turbo? Same cost to do a 6.0/6.2 turbo with more cubes. I would be more inclined to do a super charged 6.0/6.2. No spool up time unlike a turbo.
Just my .02.
