70 D100

So now I am pondering.

My cousin's friend might have some parts locally but the options are.

A. Get another slant and figure out how to address the crack in the bell and get back together and running.

Not sure of the cost yet but a slant header would be in order.

B. Small block. I would need motor mounts , truck oil pan and small block NP435 bell. Headers would be cheaper than for a slant but possibly not as cost effective with buying the mounts, oil pan ....ect.

3. 440 I have a cast crank 440/ 727 but it's not drilled for a 4 speed so that is out the door. I would need to find a new steering column with the column shift and make a driveshaft.

Another side Option
1b. I have a truck 833 OD but with that, I would have a smaller clutch ( bad or I may be overthinking)
