As long as you have those cute little tiny W8 Stabs and Elevators, you will require more force per the moment to achieve trim.... Ahhhhhhhh, the wonders of the W10 just start creeping into the picture from now on for you. Congrats on the successful engine swap...

The ohms of the sender has to match the gauge so be aware of that, there is about three different senders. You want one that will handle a 12" tall tank. This type works excellent, I have tried the probe type and found them inaccurate and prone to failure.
