Engine Dropped into Truck

I finally got the Engine into the 56 Ford Truck
But now I'm having second thoughts about this engine configuration.

Here's what I need to do:

1. Get the steering linkage to clear the exhaust manifold
2. Cut out and modify the firewall to fit the engine (Distributor Hits).
3. Get the exhaust system to route properly
4. Get a gas tank that will fit properly and connect it to the engine.
5. Get the CNG tank to connect to the engine
6. Mount and connect the computers
7. Brake system connections
8. Cooling system connections
9. CNG wiring connections
10. Airconditioning system connections
11. Power Steering system connections
12. Battery Mounted and connnected
13. Transmission driveline
14. Transmission Linkage
15. Transmission wiring.


All this and I feel a bit overwhelmed.

I'm thinking about throwing away the engine and starting over with a 80mile range electric system.
