Re: 1979 C10 5.7 Diesel advice

The easy swap would be a 1976 or earlier 350 Olds - nice long flat torque curve! A 455 would burn tires at will - if that is what you want. You trans and motor mounts are currently set up for an Olds (small or big block) and to change it to a Chevy would be a lot more work. 1977 and later Olds blocks are light weight castings and windowed webs so you would want the 1976 and earlier "Rocket".
