It has been said by others who have done ls swaps with similar blazers that a fuel pump from a Chevy pickup with a 5.7 engine between 1997-99 will drop right in to my tank and produce 58+ psi, but some folks say you need the fuel sending kit too, and others say that you do not. Does anyone know whether I would need a fuel sending kit too? New, they are very expensive (about $450.00). If I need it, I'll try my luck pulling one from a bone yard.

    Thanks!

    Got my Dirty Dingo motor mounts yesterday. I'll have to post some pictures of them on the engine in a bit. I probably will not be able to do the R&R until the second week of September.
    AC Delco EP381. It drops right in where the current pump sits and runs up to 60psi and will flow 155lph. $58.85 from Amazon.

    Thanks Skylark! I'll check the pump out. I sort of hit the bone yard today and pulled a pump and fuel sending kit out of a 1997 Suburban. I wouldn't dare use the pump, but if I needed the kit, I think it would suffice. I've never messed with fuel tank guts before, so it's all new territory for me.
