One word. PUNCTUATION. lol..your post is very hard to read without things like comma's and periods.
Besides that, I'd like to see the pics. Should turn out nice if done right.

I wouldn't use the Mr. Gasket dial type pressure regulator. We put a carbed 350ci in my freinds 95 c1500 and the regulator would go bad about twice a year. He now uses a Holley preset I don't know the part #, but it has lasted two years.
