Modify gas tank,or inline fuel pump.
I am having problems deciding what to do. Hopefully I can get some opinions. I am going efi, I have the fuel pump, gas tank from my donor but don't know if I should modify my gas tank to make the fuel pump fit. Or if I should install an inline pump underneath. I have read that you can use one for a 5.0 from a 90 truck. Another thing what are you guys using to make your "new" fuel lines. I am thinking of using some metal tubing. Also what size are you using. They told me 3/8 for the feed line, 5/16 for the return.

I just built a tank for mine for use with an in tank pump. The inline pump wouldn't really be any easier to service as it would be under the car and with the intank pump you would just have to pop the trunk and unbolt it. I personally would prefer the in tank pump. It wouldn't be as loud (not that it would matter much) and it would look cleaner than having a pump bolted under the car somewhere. Those size lines are fine that is what I'll be using.

^That's is what I was talking about when I said the intank setup is a cleaner install. http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...art2/index.php

But for 1/2 to 1/3 the price of the Tanks Inc setup and a new tank, it works just fine, and it doesn't limit my truck useage.

You don't have to use the Tanks Inc kit. I'm using the pump assembly from my mark viii donor. I built my own tank but I'm sure you could install the mark viii assembly to a stock tank just as easy the Tanks Inc kit.
