Thanks!
 
Was finally getting the fuel tank mounted up and the return line, right side in the pic, is too tall and hitting the floorboard. I've gotta rethink my fittings here to get this flush with the top of the tank.. I'm sort of thinking I can ditch the 90 and attach the hose straight to the 45, but this hose isn't very forgiving and I don't know if my routing will work with that plan.

Can the whole pump be rotated 90 degrees so you only need the one elbow?

No it's indexed to reach a sump in the middle of the tank.
I am half tempted to pull the assembly back out and sweat that piece to tube out and start over ... but I'm also lazy which will lead to maybe 2x the amount of work but I'll perceive it as "easier".

Put another 45 on it and lean it any way you want.

Crazy that getting the gas tank in is a win, but here we are.
It’s “mocked” right now. I connected the fuel lines to make sure they cleared but didn’t connect anything else because I was tired of the back and forth.

I didn’t snag a picture, but @RQ I ended up replacing the 90 with a 45 on the return and replaced the supply side with a 90 off the 5/16 tube.

Meant to hit edit and not reply … also why didn’t it tag with the @ symbol?
 
Now that the tank is figured out I’m back on the exhaust, which should be my final step before I can start it.

I stopped the exhaust because I thought I needed to raise the system up to clear the skid plate, but mocking it up with some shims I think it will be fine once I get everything hung.

I also think I’m going to change my plan. I was originally going straight to 3” from the stock 2.25” collector. My plan now is to go to 2.5” straight from the Y, expand to 3” to utilize the cat and muffler I already bought, reduce back down to 2.5” the rest of the way. Also going to throw a bellows between the Y and the cat.
 
Finished the exhaust, just have to paint this cheap Chinese pipe.
All in all I feel pretty good about it. The run between the muffler and the hoop over the axle about killed me though.
Also don’t know how I feel about how I cut the exhaust to follow the body line. I have more bends in the kit I bought and might run it at a 90 out.

Looks good from my couch!
 
I get what you are saying however running it 90 and out, like I did on my '83 I just sold, could limit the wheel travel if you plan to take it off road. When I was designing mine I messed with a few configurations and the 90 turn only looked good to my eye having it hug the tire. Just sayin' if you do turn it space it back some.

I also like the looks of what you did.
 
Looks good man. Exhaust can be a pain. I’m dreading reworking mine with little to no space to drop the sound a bunch. I’m not sure if there ever is a perfect solution vs a compromise since most folks don’t want open headers dumping out the front or hood.

Take it to the exhaust shop next to pizza mind in west Asheville, you won’t be disappointed he did this for $350 materials and labor

Exhaust is painted and complete. I do have to figure out the passenger side crossover from the manifold as it crashes into the front driveshaft, but I don’t need that to start it. All I need now is water in the radiator, a good battery, and fuel.

I’m running out of excuses to not crank it over other than I’m scared

Dangerously close! Hit a snag with chasing coolant leaks from just filling the system. I’m going to replace the heater core fitting with a straight 3/8x5/8 barb and hopefully resealed the thermostat housing.
In the meantime I hooked up the battery for the first time in over a year and nothing let the magic smoke out.
Had to find a new source for the IGN wire for the ECU, but once that was done I hooked it up and got everything updated.

BOOM.
Have an exhaust leak because I got excited and forgot to tighten the passenger side collector and the thermostat housing won’t stop leaking, but otherwise nothing else is leaking!! (Yet)
Got the EFI base tune loaded, which was extremely straight forward.
Now a bunch of small piddley stuff to do.
