The obvious solution would be to fit the 330cu in (5.4 litre) Bedford diesel engine.
106 HP @ 2700 RPM and 238 lb/ft torque.

Another reliable engine and freely available - it was the standard option for your vehicle.

Top speed might be slower due to lower governed speed of 2700 RPM (300cu in petrol is 3400 RPM) but hill-climbing shouldn't be affected.
