Update:
Fuel System: Complete
Parts
I trimmed the return hose a bit to get it into the basket and it seems to like it as I was able to set 58 psi and it is stable.
This is pure overkill but I had this piece of AL sitting around and it worked to mount the FPR. You could probably hang the motor off this mount.
It's all back together and no leaks.
Alternator:
When the car first started up the alternator was working but after a few weeks it would do this weird thing where it would only work after I revved the car to 2k and then it was fine. Well a few weeks later it just stopped charging. I ordered and ebay special and it seems to work great. It has enough amps to run 3 of these cars so I should be fine.

Intake:
Parts
I was able to make a heat shield to keep the radiator/motor/oil cooler heat away from the intake. I also got the IAT sensor close to the filter. Car seems happy and the Intake Air Temps are more accurate to what the engine is actually seeing now and not just heat soak.
Bonus:
Used some license plates to make a heatshield where the fuel and brake lines get closer to the exhaust.
