what's with the periods?

trevmust

My cellphone has a really small spacebar and the period is beside it.

Check out the stickys it will answer alot of your questions

I'll try and help with your first 3.

You can use your stock radiator or upgrade if budget permits.
You can use your stock fuel tank or upgrade to an EFI unit if budget permits.
Installing the 6 speed trans in the A-bodies requires modification to the tunnel area of the floor.

I wanna get a custom tank, I need to know what fuel pump the ls3 needs to function properly. I dont plan on modifying the engine at all.

You didn't specify what year your cartruck is. Read through my build thread for my 70 Chevelle, should be similar if not exactly the same, other than the t56.

Sorry. 1980..... Right in the middle of the a body to g body conversion that gm did for whatever reason.

I used to have a 79 Malibu, loved that car, but they are very similar. More so than the mid 70s a body. They are a little narrowerer under the hood and the motor mounted are a little newer but all the same intallation principles still apply I would think. I even had a 70 10 bolt than a 66 12 bolt(had to move spring perches) in my 79. All the control arm and shocks bolted right up. wheels are different offset though.

We are using a Dorman Tank and sender. I modified it to accept an intank fuel pump. Was running an LT1 but now have an LQ4. Car is an 86 El Camino.

As Rocky stated, Read over some of the past build threads and projects for your generation of car (A or G Body)..
Once you have an idea of which way you want to go.. then come back with your question, but try and keep the question to specfic area of the swap.. too large of a general Do All question gets way to many answers and suggestion to be of any real use.. just more to confuse you.

Then give us some good info about what your doing for a phase of your swap. Break it down to the engine install, fuel system and wiring... Trans, rear ends.. etc..

oh.. btw.. we like pictures.. !
