Block trouble......

[hugger6933]

no it is not a small block or a big block or even a LS block that is giving me trouble, it is builders block. Anybody ever have it? I recently finished up the last two wrecks I had in my body shop and had some down time so I pulled on of my truck projects around from the holding pen to work on it. Well for those of you that don't know me I own a body shop and rebuild wrecked trucks and suv's and have since the late 80's. So I am no stranger to building.I have this truck in the shop and have been wanting to get on it forever ]it has been a year since I bought it]where does the time go? Any ways , I got it in the shop and planned to work on it and now I am blocked up, I can't really find a starting place. The truck is a 70 swb with a high school bad repaint the factory color is red with a white top but now it is surplus blue. It has a 327 with a 3 speed in it and I have gathered the two T-5's to put a 5 speed overdrive in it and a van tilt with the ears shaved off and all of the holes welded up to look like a factory floor tilt. I also have a high hump for it [knowing it does not need it to change to a t-5 but I thought it better] I also wanted to change to power steering so the braket stuff will havew to be found as the heads have no holes.Of course the paint will have to be freshened up and to clean it properly and change the bushings and other stuff it needs it will probably have to come down to the rails. I know what It need where it needs I just have a builders block. Anyone got a suggestion ? Or a push ? Or a direction I should lean in? Jim
