I would suggest a Freightliner M2 with either a Cummings ISC or Mercedes 330 hp with an Allison transmission. If the shifter is on the column it's not enough horsepower. I would want air suspension and air cab. Shortening the rails is usually easy as the holes are already drilled.
*Something like this is what I'd want, BUT the Cat engine is not a million mile engine and it's unusual for one to make 400K miles even at only 250 HP. The manual tranny would get old if you have not been a gear jammer for decades.
I would watch this one although you would have to replace the bed with a flat bed to pull a 5er. Also, it would need air suspension in a FL80.
PS: the 4300 had a Allison in it.
