355 swap need advise on the little things

[cerial]

I bought the truck with a 4.7 stroker. Had it for a month and went depth finding with the engine. Went out and grabbed a 93 4.0 dropped it in the truck running the renix system and it is more of a dog then I expected compared to the 4.7.

 

I found someone with a mild 78 355 v8 w edel carb  mated to a ax15 and bought that carb to pan, balancer to the front of the transmission. Then I bought Novak mounts,and a new slave/parts to mount it to the bell  from AA. I am waiting on various new gaskets(while it's out), mechanical fuel pump, pump to carb line, autofab pins, 454 radiator, and dual electric fans to arrive.

 

I am spending the cash to make this as "bolt in" as possible. The only exception is I am moving the (much larger) radiator to where the tailgate currently is. But that is so I can hide a winch behind the grill and have a flush to the grill bumper.

 

Here is what I need and would like recommendations on.

Throttle cable-I want something I can find at a parts store that I do not need to modify.

Recommendations on modifying my stock tank pickup/pump.for mechanical pump (I do not want a electric pump/regulator)

GM pump to jeep power steering box fittings(where to buy)

Waterproof, mud proof, ice proof, heat proof starter/cs130 alternator recommendations (both mounted low) or just buy stock and replace it under "warranty"

Use a stock tank and sending unit out of an 1986 MJ for a carbed setup. Depending on how much horsepower you're putting out it may not flow enough. It was only intended for a 130 hp V6.
