Hey Pete - I lucked out on the parking cables. They just happen to be long enough. I ordered the PB cables through Wes and they came from Inline Tube. I couldn't tell you the actually length of the cables.

Not sure I understand your second question. After researching my options to run EFI, I felt the Boyd Welding tank was the best and less complicated option.

It comes EFI ready with an Aeromotive in tank pump, sending unit, return fitting and proper vent fitting. The filler neck extends right over the frame rail and sits a few inches under the truck bed. I had to add a new post filter to handle the PSI from the EFI. I mounted the filter inside the frame.

Other options would have been the following:

1. FiTechs Command Center - This acts as a remote fuel pump and it's pretty big in size ( not something you could really hide in the engine bay) It does allow you to run your existing fuel delivery system.

2. Drill into my tank and install Holley retrofit in-tank pump. I would've had to buy a new OEM tank just to do this. I guess I could have drilled into my current tank, but that doesn't sound sketchy at all... (the cost of this setup would have been almost just as much as going the route I did.
