Well this is about vague. What engine do you have? Are you thinking of putting in the same engine or swapping to something else...?

I think you should do it (since you provide practically no details, why not?)

6.4 Stroker for DR would be sweet OR with a bit more work an LS swap would be cool as hell...

The Navy might have a Regulus engine for sale. Why spend more than the truck is worth?

Hell, no need for a crate engine. Stroke what ya got. Easy 450 HP / 500 TQ can be had by stoking it to 408. Kits are out there in the $1500 range...
