Just keep watching the sites that sell off the wrecked trucks, some sell
them as rebuildable, others as parts only. Just get one of those, and have
everything you need.
I was comparing the 5.7L for my Gen II engine bay, and although it seems
like it may be tight, It seemed like it should fit. I'm just trying to
come up with some more economical engine alternatives.
