Thanks. I am trying to do that. I have an excel spreadsheet where I am trying to keep a tally of everything. The motor is from an LS from a 2007 Chevy avalanche so most of the motor parts can be found by looking for that but it has a custom cam and lifters.

Fuel tank is in and fuel lines partially run. Scavenged throttle sender from older Silverado pick up and will modify to accept original Toyota peddle.

Getting fuel lines run and wired. Putting fenders back on so we can start assembling stuff in in engine compartment. Running AC lines, steering fluid lines...

Well I am rebuilding the instrument console. I am using a speedhut tach and I have 3D printed a new mounting bracket. I also found that two of the bulb housings were badly melted so I 3D printed new ones.
I am going to splice the new tach wires into the old tach plug so that it will plug into the old connection the same as the original. Red - Tach signal, Black/Yellow - Ign 12V, Black - Ground and the other two for the light.
