BIG STEP FORWARD
Thanks to phillip, aka caddypimpin. I left for the river on thursday dropped off some beer and sunday came back to this.
ran into a little problem , the way i have the regulator wont work as it hits the firewall so im going to bend some hardline up and make my own fittings on the rear passenger rail to push the regulator back a little . also going to have to cut the driver side fuel rail down to near the injector and cut a -8 an fitting and weld it to the rail . then use a 90 -8 female to hose then to the y. this is with the stock 105 amp alt , going to pick mine up tomorrow and make sure it will have a shot as its even bigger but should work . below you can see my issue with the smaller alt.
basically just have to , install alt headers, plum the fuel , i made all new battery cables that are ready to install. plum the wiring, new knock sensor/cam sensor harness. electric water pump . finish the hydroboost which should be cake. and all the little b/s . hope to have it fired by this weekend if im lucky .

well got the fuel rails all figured out had to use a 90- bulkhead near the alternator and a bulk head on the rear to move the fpr out from hitting the back of the intake and still maintaining to clear the firewall. i only had about 1/2 inch to play with back there.
now not much more progress as i just pulled my wisdom teeth and dont feel like doing a whole lot. hopefully sunday have some wiring and bolts touched up.
