well i still have some work to do with the gauges so i haven't been able to tell with gas mileage since my gas gauge hasn't been working but it was mostly straight forward. my truck originally had the 4.3l v6 with a 5 speed so i had to go buy motor mounts from a v8 truck from this era and then i just used motor mount adapters and i also put in a 4l60e transmission. I would recommend trying it, my truck is a lot of fun to drive now. I don't have a documentation of the build but i do have more pictures if wanted.
