The truck currently has a 327 in it that runs pretty good, the truck only has like 40k miles on it. We are considering 4 options for the power plant:
1# Use the 327 and mod it to use LS fuel injection.
2#Go with a Fuel injected Big Block.
3# Just swap it for a 6.0 LS
4# some scarry big caterpiller Diesel- or somthing totaly out of the box.
We have access to all sorts of engine options here, we are throwing it all to the wall on this one and seeing what sticks. We are trying to stay away from a semi truck look, but are thinking stacks would look pretty sweet tucked inside the frame rails then just poking out from a hole just before the frame bend? let us have it -we want to hear it all.

What do you all think? What your opinions on the engine?
