Newbie from MO

Hello everyone.

I was a member a couple of years ago with a '69 Burb that was lowered and I sold it. Well I am back and I just bought a '68 c10 from a guy in STL, MO.





It really was in decent shape from what I have seen when I was out searching. At least it runs. Right now I am considering putting in a Vortec engine with accessories and complete wire harness, fuse box etc.

I just PM'd Custom 68 (Dave) who has a vortec in his yellow '68. He installed himself and explained a little about what was done. He got a painless wire harness and fabricated his own motor mounts, and shortened his drive shaft.

I plan on finding a 4L60e tranny or use the 200-4r tranny I already have.
Is there anything else you guys think that I will need?
How about the fuel pump? Is that on the block or in the tank?

Thanks Guys.
