What you need is a regulator that can bring the pressure down to about 5 psi for your carburetor.

would the stock fuel pump be able to keep up and what about the return line

 

[originalnitro]

A stock pump should have no problem keeping up with that engine.
If your truck has a return line use a bypass regulator.

The one above has a place for a return line.

Be sure to set the tv cable correctly or you'll cook the trans.

I used the stock driveshaft for my 2.3L,5speed,7.5 rearend. Had to swap the slip yoke on the driveshaft for one without the counter weight which made it a little shorter.
When I swapped to a 8.8 rearend I had on made to fit because theory stock one was to long with an 8.8.
Try what you have if its to long a driveshaft shop can shorten it for you fairly cheap ($40 around here)
