Default C1500 project

I'm Nick, 25, and picked up a 92 GMC C1500 W/T for $600 (4.3 auto w/ac, RCLB). 146k and no frame rust, only 2 spots on the body are pin holes in the cab corners. Needs a tranny so I'm told. Won't shift past 2nd. I plan on doing an LQ9 block, either the 700R4 or a 4L80E. Single turbo build, Probably a Precision 60 or 76mm. This is my first turbo build, plus I have a 5 month old at home so it'll be a slow pace build. I've started the paint work on her. Picked the color for now, Rustolium Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray can. Lol. I just want to get it to one color so I'm not looking at a horrible paint job while I do the drivetrain. I'll have a few questions, such as what 4 link to use, should I use a ford 9" rear, Minitub worth it?

I wanted a long bed, I know I'll use this truck for a lot of things and possibly daily drive it when I'm done.

Thanks for listening to my rant, I'll make a build thread to follow.
