That's not too had to find if a new one (aftermarket is fine) is needed. the Th350 is used from a friend of his. That's one of the reason for a newer 4 spd. He claims there's about 10-12 solid days of work to get it back together. I am not doing it, I don't have the time and don't know enough about drive line to get it to set up property. I am writing a check for this head ache to go away and enjoy later. Its needs wiring harness, but that cheap he claims.

I do not think it's worth it if you'll be paying to have it built, especially since you expressed the desire to want a Willy's and not a CJ2.
Would hate to see you do it all over again when you find a Willy's... However, if you do go for it, you'll probably keep that drivetrain if you do find a Willy's...
I would agree with selling the SBC, and going a different engine route. Especially with all the different trans/transfer case options, as well as ease of running that straight 6, the possibility for fuel injection as well. I would see what transfer case you have first before deciding on a transmission, or see what you can find local in terms of married 4 speeds. "twin sticks are more fun"
