As for the pickup tube, its possible to modify one, but its crucial that the pickup tube rests at the lowest/sump point. As long as it doesn't have any kinks or an excessive length, it'll work just fine.

Thanks for the input on that. I guess if a guy shortened the tube the same amount as the section he would be good to go. I am going to be picking up a '01 truck 5.3 and all matching components in the next couple of days so that's probably what I will do....
