The '76-'78 trucks used the same grill. The DODGE emblems were not on the hood, but it was part of the grill. You can still find the letters and glue them to the hood but it would look rather redundant. Or, you can get a '72-'73(these are the nicest in my opinion) grill or a '74-'75 grill. These do not have "DODGE" imprinted on them, also, they do not have the front park lights in them like the '76-'78 grills do(they were in the valance below the grill). You would need to get the lower valance to stay legal.
If you still want a '76-'78 grill, I've seem a guy selling new ones at www.ebay.com (they're painted olive drap green and would need to be stripped)
The engine part you can get just about any where, I like http://www.summitracing.com/
Good luck!
