Finally got some stuff done. Frame is painted except for the spot where the steering box goes. Got a power steering pump and box today. Scored it from my buddy who wrecked his 72 cheyanne 3 years ago. Told me to give him $100 and take what I needed. Needed to still plate the frame where the old box sat, cracked a little bit. the old 327 has new valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets. Looked at the cylinders from the bottom end, couldn't tell much, but looked ok. Still has good compression. It is ready to swap for the 396. Hopefully will get that done 1st weekend in February when i get back from Montana. Still sanding and prepping the body parts. Will take some pics tommorrow of the frame and various stuff.
