Re: 5.7 Vortec for 72 C20
INline eletric fuel pump can be mounted on the frame rail ,you will want to also mount a filter before the fuel pump, you should be able to be close to that with in 12'' off tank
Also you might want to check out your fuel sending unit for 3/8 feed because they were made 5/16 feed for 6 cyl and 3/8 for 8 cyl ,this will help keeping the pump primed and not starve the pump when you get on the gas.
You also will need a fuel regulater so you can dial in the pressure for the carb (5-7lbs .
Any Hei distributor will work , but you must make sure it comes with a melonized gear ,I belive Accel distrib come with Melonized gear. all Hei distrib have a post/pole for tach option.
And yes you can use your Stock rams horn if you want .
I would also go with a serptine set up you can go to your local junk yard and get a complete set up there, pull one from any 96-99 chevy truck even the 6 cly vortech will work just take everything PS pump and alt, even the belt . everything will line up perfectly and you will never have to tighten up a v belt again
