2x4: First I have to agree with Shaun. (don't go into shock Shaun) That 454 won't be worth a tinker's damn in a truck of that size. Go with a 366 or 427 they were built as truck engines. On your type hauling I'll give the edge to the 366. 25 years ago many 427s were pulling 25 ton payloads on trailers. Looking at the diesel option, first problem will be the rear end ratio. Most dual wheel gas trucks used a rear end ratio for engine developing it's max torque at about 2800 rpm whereas the same truck with diesel will run in the 1600 to 2000 range. If your going to turn a diesel up 2800 rpm you'll see very little saving. Diesel only gives effeieincy as it develops it's max. torque at very little over 1500 rpm.
