Newbie needs some help

Im building a GN clone using a 1985 Regal Limited and 6.0L LS engine
I allready got rid of the interior, motor/tranny(carb v6), and gas tank.
Is all the GN parts compatible with the Limited as far as suspension and rear end? I also wanted to get a GN gas tank and sender and buy the hotwire and pump kit from Racetronix to supply the fuel with new lines. Will this come together without to much modification or is there a better solution?
Sorry about the amount of ?s but I want buy evrything before I start the reassembly.
Thanks Robert

Yeah, suspension is the same. The gas tank doesn't come with the fuel pump hanger that also has the gauge sender on it. That part is available at gbodyparts.com

You may or may not want to go with an external fuel pump.

Thanks Red, will the fuel injection v6 gas tank of a monte work?
The hanger assembly you recommened from gbodyparts looks like what i want
but is there any difference from the factory one?
And are the external pumps really noisey and is there a signifacant cost over the factory style?
May be an option since iI will have to put in new lines anyways.

I'm not familiar with the MC gas tank, so I don't know. I mentioned an external pump as a possible option. I don't know the fuel requirements of the LS engine. I suppose a GN a pump is enough, but don't know the particulars.

Should be some helpful information here ...

I'm not a fan of external pumps. They're noisy, and you'll need to sump the tank if you don't want to have issues with sloshing.

There are kits available to retrofit an old tank for fuel injection. I did this when I swapped an LR4 4.8 Vortec into a '77 Camaro.

A good place for info on this type of stuff is the Hybrid/Swap section of ls1tech.com.
