I'm in the same boat but am going to change up my approach as my previous mindset kept my project a project for 10 years. Every single person that I asked regarding taking on the swap said the same thing, get it in and get it running. Set it in the frame and build from there. Resist all urges to gather parts ahead of time as they may not work and buy a quality BP or PSI harness. It ran before you pulled it so it will run if you leave it alone and keep it as simple as possible. Once its running, then you can start modifying. Taking this advice has kept my project moving with minimal expense and confusion. I was able to use the factory accessories and exhaust manifolds that I've read/heard countless times was not possible.
