RickRoos,
Your project sounds like it gets bigger everytime you blink.
You have received alot of great input and identified some other items which need attention.
Get you plan together and then don't try to eat the whole "whale" at once. just proceed one bite at a time and before you know it your project will turn out great.
Sounds like a fun project.
I look forward to hearing about your progress.
I have been toying with the Idea of putting a duramax/allison combination into one of my project trucks.
enjoy the journey
