Joe-

Sweet- thanks for the confirmation on the ignition igniters. The BIP373 looks like the way to go- maybe DIY will come out with their set up soon (I'm sure they're going to use the BIP373).

I guess I need to do more research on throttle bodies. My partner in crime, Alex (putting a 6.1 in his 68 roadrunner) worked for Frank Racing a couple years back for a couple years, so he is my main source of knowledge for these questions. He's now working with GTP racing, selling heads for them. I think I'll probably end up porting the intake and adapter (not myself- GTP). I have a 6.1 intake that I'm using ($450 is current market value - there's a few on ebay now actually). The 5.7 heads I have actually have larger runners than the 6.1 intake, so there is port matching that needs to be done on that end.

I'm going to be using a Frank Racing cam- don't know the exact specs. Prob 215/219 @.50, with .550 lift or something around there.

The combo I'm going to be running has run mid to low 11's in the 4000+ lb lx's.

I did some reading on the custom tanks- the guys on lateral-g.net have compained about the custom efi tanks ($899+ with all the added baffling) still not keeping the in tank pump covered in fuel. I researched the different solutions - in tank reservoir, in tank reservoir with trap doors, external reservoir, baffles in tank, sump added to tank, etc. From the reviews, I don't think baffles are enough alone (for my application, anyway). Baffles with a sump, maybe, or baffles with an in tank pump that pulls gas from other areas of the fuel tank to dump in your reservoir, maybe. It all got complicated and expensive, so I went with the $50 1/2" pickup and the $70 external reservoir.
