Stock L pumps with 100k for $45?
If your going with 42# injectors & 4# lower stock pumps should be fine. And I believe the fuel rails will be ok. I'm not 100 % on that one though.

So I've got my build plans figured out. Here what it looks like.

6# lower
60# injectors
SCT BA2600
JLP inlet elbow
Accufab TB
Steig Stg 1/2 Port Eaton

Off course all the usual upgrades. Dual pass heat exchanger, Fan setup for the heat exchanger, Bigger cooling tank for the heat exchanger..

Ok thanks.
I feel like after the swap I may replace things and do it right.
Like a new pump (something that won't risk leaving me stranded)
A proper vac setup (have feeling mine will look about as bad as my current one)
Bigger Radiator, L shroud, and few others

Why Steig?
That work seems like overpriced sandpaper work without much dyno proof

Because warranty. It will probably be rebuilt prior to being installed.

Also I will be pulling everything from a running truck. I have a close friend who will be going with a single turbo setup around tax time. He will be giving me first dips on everything I will need.

BTW how hard can I push SCAT 4340 Stock replacement rods?

Can't really find any HP limit #s on the scats. But I'd guestimate 800 with the 8740s maybe 1200 with 2000s. And you are talking about h - beams right?

I would think the SCAT rods would be fine with 8740's.

Seen a lot of guys running MMR forged 4340 rods and Manley H-beams with 8740's. The 2k's are an upgrade, but I don't think its worth the coin unless you have very high hp/tq goals.

However, they are a must if you want to rev high in the RPM range. IE changing cams and going to 6500 +
