Hello I have recently done the same swap. I can tell you were I am at with mine in the hope it may help.

1. I bought the Edelbrock TV bracket and yes it is not even close so don't even waste your money. I have yet to find exactly what I am looking for.
2. I am using a mini starter ACDELCO 88877121 on a 168 tooth flywheel. I added a diode to the wire harness.
3. I am running a 5 psi Spectra SP1130 electric fuel pump w/o a regulator and so far no problems on a 500cfm Edelbrock 1802 carb. A regulator on anything over 6 psi is a good idea. I also wired it with an inertia switch just in case.
4. I did the Jeep Grand Cherokee fan mod (found on this sight) in a stock fan shroud. Worked out well.
5. I am running swept back ram's horn manifolds so I can't help you much there.

Best of luck on your build.
