I was quoted $300 to modify my harness from a guy on Ft. Worth. He has lots of knowledge in it, actually has a 5.3 in his 86 Sub. i can check with him for you if you want. He's close to you and that'll help on the convenience if questions arise.

I will check on that pan, but it wouldn't have covered as much as you need.
Called and found that the ran out of the one I generally sell and they filled the order with its equivalent.

     That is a lot of work you have been doing, like the progress.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
