For that budget IMHO your best bang for the buck, a 2005/07 5.9L Cummins with a manual transmission behind it. Good power, great reliability, no emissions. Was arguably the best of the 5.9's. If there is not one already on it, install an aftermarket EB and go.
I'd start with the first year of the third gens - 2003. They have a stronger manual transmission, less emissions stuff and get better fuel efficiency.
Could be wrong but the better 6 speed was in the late 01 and 02's,
