shelby38 could u send me those pics u may have of swap.plz
It is possible to keep the complete brake system and the power steering. My purpose was for drag strip only use so I opted to not keep the power steering and I used Aerospace drag brakes on mine.
There is a company that makes a billet cross member to fit most popular transmission choices for the swap, I'll try to find a link to it for you.
BMR makes a K member for this application I used the KM012 (link below).

You should be able to use your stock gauges for way less than $1200 but if you are into doing something custom the large tack and speedo's slip nicely into the stock bezels and look pretty cool.
jsimmonstx I will send you an email so you have my addy for side discussion if needed. I'm in Washington state.
I am happy to help however I can but since I wasn't trying to keep mine on the street there will be some things I won't have answers for. I did find another guy who swapped a stroked 351W that made (and sells) a video of his project. I finished my swap last year but bought the video last week just to see if there was any info that would help me, I paid $25 with shipping. That guy gave a list of the parts he used for his swap.
I have tons of pics and notes but haven't taken the time to document it properly yet so probably better if I just answer questions about it to start with.
