Other than that I need to finish my fuel lines, radiator and hoses, and a few other odds and ends. My goal is now to have it run by July 19th because that's the 6 year anniversary of the day I last drove the truck and blew the motor.

I got the borgeson power steering pressure reducer kit to install so the pump is off but it looks so good I am getting really excited. This engine is huge! Space is tight. I will have to modify both inner fenders but there is lots of room to wheels at full turn. I also have just barely enough space for steering linkage but it will work.
Looks good. I too am running a MII rack with a Type 2 GM pump. I could never find a clear answer if a reducer was needed or not.
