Default Finally starting to come to a close

So after a LONGGGGG break on my truck, we finally started working on it. Made up my list tonight, so far our to do list consists of:


-Mount the battery box in the bed and run the wire

-Adapt the truck injector electronics to the car injectors

-Run the fuel lines (need the adapter parts, thats a question for you guys)

-Get the shifter working (old floor shifter for my old 4l60e needs to work with the 4l80e)

-Need to build a rad support

-Need a cap for the power steering resivoir

-gotta get the old 5 inch tach the origional owner added

-Need to get the new seats mounted (APC... i know i know...)

-check all the bolts

-Mount the fuse terminal on the engine harness to the firewall

-Needs a computer tune

-Needs new shocks (fronts and rear)

-Wire up the electric fans

-get some parts painted

- needs exhaust

ok so I have a few questions to ask:

1. suggestions on what pillar guages to get

2. Need suggestions on shocks, since I cant find 90 / 10's for the front???

3. I need to buy fuel line, wanna do braided, I have FAST fuel rails, I need a T and will sneak both lines up one to each rail, what fittings do I need to do this?

4. I need to build an intake, suggestions?

5. The shifter is almost impossible to move once we tighten down the bracket onto to tranny, ideas?

yeah I will get them up ASAP, trying to get the rest of the stuff bought tho, cant find anything for front shocks for the s-10, since they have to be vehicle specific right? and I wanna do like a 70/ 30 or a 90/ 10.... I will get pics of the fittings up too
