Sounds to me like you'd want to rip everything out. But before you do... A new 36" prehung exterior door with brickmould will measure 40" wide on the outside. You might want to go outside and measure from brick to brick and see what you have for width before deciding what to do. It might be that you have an unusually wide opening from having a wide old wooden door with a sloped sill and wide face trim.
Also, see if you can determine how wide it is between the block on both sides.
