Gasser will not bolt up to the diesel trans (learned that the hard way).
Just how cheap is super cheap? If the rest if the truck decent (not rusty) than I would be tempted to pull the motor and put a turbocharged 6.9 in there (1985.5-1987 6.9L).
I prefer 6.9s due to their thicker cylinder wall.

I agree also,460 really likes the gas. I went from 5 with the camper to 14, I can enjoy that, 7.3 actually has more power on hills too. It was built 460 and would eat ricers, they hate getting blown off by a cc4x4. LOL
