This can be fixed. It's not impossible. It's made more challenging by not wanting to tear the engine down further, but it's definitely repairable.
But there is merit to building an engine that reinterprets the historical engine you have now. Modern electronics will do an amazingly better job of controlling fuel delivery and spark timing and will also be able to monitor for some failure conditions then try and take corrective action. And they will help the engine behave more consistently from idle all the way up to redline.
Maybe it's time to start planning your next truck?
