Tear down. Maybe some KA pistons. KA-E head? Who knows yet.

Got other things on the plate I need to do before I stress building a motor.

yea, a 2wd nv3500 so i can run the stock tcase and not have to worry about drivelines, also if i were to run the 4wd version with the 205 tcase that i already have i would probably have clearance problems with the torsion bar crossmember

Man, you didn't fuck around. Kinda feel like I missed a few steps at the beginning though.
Did you do the alternator conversion?
