Just fix the motor man. You've got too much time and effort invested into it. A 7.3 is just a completely different level of money pit you don't want to deal with.

I agree with this. A 7.3 would be cool, but you'd spend a ton of money, and it's highly likely you'd end up with underwhelming power, and you'd probably have to get some new front suspension parts to handle the extra weight. I personally think if you want power you should do a turbo build on that 300, I've seen people do that and make some hella good horsepower and torque numbers... That'd be pretty cool, but that's just my opinion

Good call on keeping the 300 and making it work!
