Well you lucked out both ways then. A cool Mom (out cheering you on in the street) and a pretty wife.

I hope you put enough weight on the truck to settle those springs some.
They are gonna ride rough without some serious weight on them.

Another engine to consider would be a 4BT Cummins. They can be made to produce some pretty good power and have multiple transmission selections.
Some older delivery vans had 400 Turbos behind the 4BT.

I think an inline engine would fit the style of the old truck, plus you can set it back closer to the firewall if you want.
