    You need torque. Best way to get that is either a 383 stroker built from your current 350, 400 small block or a big block (454 or bigger). No replacement for displacement, except maybe a small blower.

    Either small block would be easier since that is what is in the truck now.

    The 454 would be a bolt in swap with factory parts, but would be a lot easier if you found another truck like yours that had a big block so that you had all the little parts needed to make the swap happen. Lots of 1 ton trucks had 454's and the same basic frame as yours. I would hunt down one of those if that was the direction I wanted to go.
