What my best option here?

Hey Jim-since you've just gone through this project, are there any tips/tricks you can share? Anything you would do differently if you had to do it again? I think this is a project I'll take on this winter, and even with my fairly limited know-how, seems that it is something I can successfully tackle.
I also have a '72, 350, sm465 and 2 inch block lift..top is off, if that matters?
Thanks!
Jason
