Default Fuel pump for engine swap.

Hey,

Well I must say that it has been forever since I have posted here.
For now I am still on deployment but am starting to gather parts for my vette. I do have a 1981 vette and already have the LT1 from a 96 Trans Am for the swap. I have seen the post saying to use a 1982 fuel sending unit for the swap with a different fuel pump, but which one? I have most of the swap done, but would rather go with an internal fuel pump vise external, cleaner job I think. Other than that what are people using for the radiator core support.

Thanks
Dave

You can buy the '82 only sending unts from Paragon. You can use a fuel pump for a '92 C4 LT1 Corvette and it should go right onto that sending unit. That assembly will then go into a 78-82 tank.
