One Stop Shop?
I have scoured the internet, poured over catalogs. I find bits and pieces for my 240 inline 6, but nothing all in one spot. Would it be easier just to stroke it to a 300, and if so, where would i get the kit for it?

Aside from the crank shaft and piston rods, there is very little difference between the 240 and the 300. As far as I know, a rebuild kit for a 300 should work on a 240 without issue. Just get one for a 300 from the era of your engine.

240 and 300 pistons have different compression heights, so watch that when you're shopping for a kit (which probably doesn't exist outside eBay). You'll more than likely end up having to pick up parts piecemeal.
There's no replacement for displacement. 300 cubic inches will move a truck better than 240. The 240 does have a lot of esoteric appeal in an older truck, though.

I was scouring over threads for boredom reading..and I came across barons quote lol I've heard "no replacement for displacement" so many times when I decided to go with the 6 instead of 8. Just makes me chuckle
