Re: 5.3L GenIII /TH400 swap
One small suggestion on your sending unit. Either shorten your return line, or bend it away from the pickup. I did a set-up like this (in a '67 Mustang I dropped a 5.0 and T-5 in) the same way as you, by soldering the return in place. If the return is right next to the pickup, you may have problems with aerated fuel being sucked up directly from the return line.
Keep us updated on the progress. I'm like you- I'd rather build it and save a few bucks than buy it. Bites you in the a$$ sometimes though, when it would have been cheaper/easier just to buy it. Oh well, that's all part of the fun...
