No replacement for displacement. Build the 460 is my vote. Cheap horsepower and big torque too. The aftermarket for 385 series engines is getting cheaper across the board.

460 as per my user name lol

My old 1977 460 2wd truck used both tanks to get to a city up north with no load. Went to the same city a different time fully loaded down and it still only used 2 tanks to get there. Aerodynamics of a brick lol
