I did my own EFI harness (actually quite easy if you read up on it), and modified my stock fuel tank for electric fuel pump with return.
Just got my 3 core rad last week. I drilled and tapped the water pump for the steam fitting. Also shortened my own driveshaft.

I don't have a fancy shop just a normal garage like most guys on here. Whatever you decide take your time and good luck with it.

Thanks Suburban99 Do you have a build thread on this bad boy? Sounds Like a killer build! I'm going to call around tomorrow for a computer and see about talking to modern vintage systems on Instagram for a harness.
