If you want to go all out, you could do the junkyard swap to the 360 and get
the 426 stroker kit available now. There are tons of options available.

Subject: DML: 318 upgrade options.
The thread about Christine got me thinking. I know my 318 cannot last
forever, and since I have decided to keep this truck, I kinda need a
plan for when the motor does go pop.
#1 obviously is to rebuild it as stock.
#2 would be a stroker kit which gets me what, 390?
#3 would be a junkyard 318 with less miles, to which #1 or #2 could be
applied.
#4 could be s junkyard 360, to which #3 could be applied giving me ...408?
#5 Could I drop a 4.7 in there?
#6 What about some type of Diesel? Could that liberty diesel be fit to
a Dak? If the size and computer could be figured out, would it have
enough guts to do the job?
#7 what else?
