Ford stopped casting these blocks in 1996. Rebuilt is the only way. I did see a company that sells crate 300's for industrial use a while back, but I haven't heard anything on automotive use. Go here to see if Jasper does them: JASPER Engines & Transmissions:: remanufactured engine: diesel, marine, import

I checked out jasper they had 3 different options (really 2 because mine does not have a.i.r. tube) one was just below 2 grand and 1 was just above 2 grand. found a sight called automotix and they only wanted 1150.00 I don't know what the diff is they both come with warrentys, but hey now I know in case my 300 gives up the ghost.

You can also purchase remanfactured engines with warranty from your local parts store such as Advance or Autozone. I am not sure how their engines are, but I purchased a reman c6 from them and i haven't had any issues out of it.

A reman is as close to a crate engine as you can get for a 300.
350 Chevy Crate Engines - 383 Stroker - Ford - Dodge - Remanufactured, Custom and Performance Engines
That company used to have a contract for UPS 300 remans and still has them available.

Thanks for that information Heavy_Metal. I wasn't aware of that, but I'm glad to hear these are still being made in some shape or form because they are such great motors.

There is another company that bought out the rights and casting tech for the industrial 4.9, here's the info on that:

Looks like if your engine is green, it's an Oxx Power engine.
On edit:
I just found an article that says your tug has an Oxx Power engine in it, in a roundabout way:

Check the gofastparts.com, they are in redlands, ca, great prices & service on crate engines. If they don't have access to the 4.9, it might be just as cheap to go with a 302/351 since with the exception of the pcm and injectors, its basically a drop in.
