I had a 1160 in my 73 and it was definitely 'light' on power. Your easiest re-power would be to drop a turbo 3208 CAT in, your recently replaced 'hoses, belts, alternator, water pump, etc.' will probably all work. With this option you will have more horsepower, easy swap, and an outdated motor.
Going with the Cummins 8.3 will require more work but will give you a more sale-able, economic and modern solution. You should talk to Keith (Retro), he did one himself and had one done by a mechanic.
