I would not go with any big block gas motor, if you go with a 1 ton vehicle a diesel would be the way to go as your economy would be higher.
I've seen a couple 460 Fords that were in decent condition and drivers for $800-1000 but I know my wallet cannot support one at the pump.

A 300 will pull a car and a trailer with no issues, and I like the fact 300s seldom have issues.

Thanks !
