A 440 will fit, but it's a TIGHT squeeze. and really, how much faster than 60 mph do you want to go? A 318 or 360 will drop right in the engine bay, and will run smoothly at 60-65 all day long. And you can do that with the factory axles and 4.89s. Even faster with 4.30's, but I really wouldn't recommend going faster than 65 with factory axles, even with disc brakes.
If I ever build another V8 conversion Power Wagon it will probably have a 727 auto in it. Shifting is starting to get old. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
