Hitting on all eight cylinders

This is on a 1957 Ford C600 COE flat-bed truck. I have found that 3 cylinders on my current 272 y-block have extremely low compression. I'm thinking I should just replace the engine with something reliable, and maybe even more powerful (this thing is a dog, admittedly only running on 5 cylinders, but still). What options do I have for a replacement engine that will bolt in to my engine bay without crazy adapters and so forth? Also, if anyone has a source of such an engine, I'd appreciate a link.
Cheers,
Tim

Great info, thank you all! I'm located in East Helena, Montana.
I will have to look around and see if there is anyone local who can do an engine rebuild and as Daniel mentioned, see what it would cost to bore it out to 292 while it's in the shop. I have never had an engine rebuilt/bored before so I don't even know where to start looking.
Cheers,
Tim
