In case anyone is still interested, I'm still working on it. Serpentine belt system is done except I need an extension for the fan because it bangs into the harmonic balancer. Tranny cooler arrived today and I picked up the 5/8 ID hose and fittings to plumb it. Just to give you an idea, the cooler, 20' of hose and fittings was about $500 plus shipping the cooler from California.
Steering system is done with a new BIG truck pump with a relief valve so I won't blow out the Hydroboost unit. Reservoir holds a GALLON of ATF. I'm using the original tranny cooler for that system.
Air compressor, tank, governor and fittings are all done. I'll have 15 cfm at my disposal for air tools, tires, air horns, whatever.
I think I'll have to skip the twin turbos for now due to time and money. Being a contractor, I can take time off, but I don't get paid for it and it's a good way to end up with no job.
I have to install the water injection, electrical system + and - cables, a B&M floor shifter, put the interior back in, replace the windshield, get a new exhaust system, air intake system, fabricate intercooler tubes, etc. It's going to be another busy week.
Fuel system is done and purged less the tank, which is out to replace the fuel sending unit. Some tranny wiring is plugged in but none of it is powered yet. Same with the engine. There's still lots to do before it's really done, but I should be able to fire it in a couple days. Seems like I said that two weeks ago....
