I'd guess you've got about 3 days...
Seriously, about the only thing you've got to worry about is the B&M kit. While you're getting ready to do the engine thing, get a hold of Dana at Pro Built for a proper Transgo kit. When you pull the engine, pull the tranny and put the kit in.
If you're happy with the current gear ratio you have, a Power Trax allows you to go posi without the expense of gear setup. If you're doing gears, might as well get a posi carrier to match your gear type (3-series, 2-series, etc.). Have the axle tubes welded full around, and put on a hard cover with bearing saddle support. That'll handle the typical hopped-up 350.
