CPP small block stands and mount to the LS plate, Camaro exhaust manifolds, GMPP CTS-V accessory drive, KWIK for high mount Sanden (before Holley brackets) and it was pretty well bolt together. Lot more room under the hood than an AD truck. Before you go carb, maybe check out FITech. From what I've been seeing around here, it is a high quality and very affordable throttle body style injection system. Here is a build with one starting at post 392... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...605736&page=16

Be cool if you did a build thread under alternate tinkerings.

Accessory drives...I am following your lead on engine setback and looked at the front runner system you used. Yep pricey. Are you happy with the system? Do you remember how much room you have from front of block to radiator mounting flange? Are you still happy with the R and D radiator?
I like the R&D and prices are not bad.
If you look at what I have it works and it is compact. The alternator need a bracket made for it to give it more support. Easy fix. This came out after and about the same price and looks a little better I think.http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/ca/full.aspx?Page=79
Any way lots of trial and error or $$$ or both
