Well good luck with that.
Do you have the equipment required to make your own brackets?
If you cant build your own brackets and most of your adaptors you can forget about it being cost effective.

If you have a 6.5 with a DB4 serries electronicly controlled pump and GMx serries turbo I would say you are not far off.
I picked the best OE 6.2/6.5L parts and aftermarket parts from 1982-now to build what I have and it goes pretty nice.
