Well I'm gonna say that a 440 swap would be better. The older hemi's were mainly found in cars, and the newer ones would require so much electrionic crap that it probably wouldn't be worth it for you. The 440's actually came in those vehicles for a short time. So if you want to go for more CI go with the 440. I knew a guy with an 87 that had a 440 and he could burn all four 36's no problem. You could also rebuild your 318. The engines had little problems here and there but a proper rebuild would breath new life into the truck. As far as what parts to use I couldn't help you there I don't know much about building engines. Try putting bigget gears in the diffs if its just a lil tired. As far as the ease of the swap goes I'm not sure. You could try advanced adapters to see if they have kits for something like that. Don't forget the rest of the drivetrain, more power equals more stress on everything else.
