ls swap questions

[Medina]

Im about to do a ls swap in a 1971 gmc k25. Ive got a lq4 6.0/4l80e out of a 2005 2500hd. I want to use the 205 that came with the truck and keep factory air.

Questions:

• Can I run my factory speedometer off of my t case and not use the vss adapter?

• What does everyone do for a steering column? Look for a stock one with the indicator on top?

Would something like this work? How long would I need?

• What kind of shift linkage since my trucks a stick?

• Whose the right person to send my harness/computer too?

• Is there an ac compressor relocate that uses the stock compressor?

• From what Ive read i'll have to do some fab work to make my motor mounts work and to make the cross member work. What about exhaust? Can I somehow get away with using stock 2005 truck manifolds?

• Is a blazer gas tank a good choice? I want to take the stock one out of the cab.

• What fuel pump?

Theres a ton of other questions I forgot, I'll update when they come to mine.

Thanks in advance!
