also if you want a nice look on the instrument cluster, look at florida50.com they make a nice cluster set up that you can get to pretty much however you want with pre wired autometer gauges

BP Auto on Here for the harness
Or just use micro squirt

Not worth it to chase the factory gauges.

Factory fox fuel lines will support 500whp just need to adapt it.

I haven't personally done the corvette fuel filter and return less fuel system either but that's another option.

I just do full -8 supply and return.

I've leaning on the upr chromoly k member for my swap but it doesn't come with a trans mount, I'm going with efi , what do the florida5.0 clusters usually go for??, how hard is it to adapt the fuel lines, and how difficult is the plug and play harness

when it comes to k members just make sure your research what headers will work like my kooks only work with aje components from what i have seen. i know upr is a nice brand i just went aje bc i found a hell of a deal last winter on one. florida5.0 clusters packages run 650 on up just depending on what gauges you pick out, but its all prewired up for you just plug up to your sensors and go. everything i have seen on using a built harness is a snap when it comes time to install. we did one on a 85 1ton chevy with a 6.0 and a 4l80e trans, once the motor and trans was in the harness took like 15-20 mins to throw in.

plus mounting the engine on a aje is super easy bc you just order there ls mounts and slap the motor in.
