WELCOME!!!!
The HEI is an easy swap.Search the "Truck FAQ's thread and look for 6 cyl HEI by member shifty.It will walk you thru the process step by step.I spent about 2-3 hours gathering Plug wires,terminal ends and etc.But only about 45 min from hood up to leaving the drive for a test (and I regapped the plugs and wasn't in a rush,it just fell together that easy).Well worth the read and one of the best mods to my 6.
1&2 I don't know.
3 Make sure you get all brackets,pulleys and the pump when you buy the PS.There seem to be dozens of combinations but some of it doesn't mix well.If you don't get it all you may have alignment problems with the pump pulley and others.The gearbox and pump can usually be bought at any parts store,IIRC there is a core charge.Pump pulleys can be spaced differently from the front flange to the center of the pulleys,so watch for that on a new one.The Rag Joint (AKA STEERING COUPLER) IS ALSO DIFFERENT FROM THE MANUAL BOX TO THE ps BOX SO YOU WILL NEED ONE THAT FITS BOTH SHAFTS.
4. I would get the inner and outter rockers since the inners are about $7-8.00 each,well worth the price to have on hand.
