is there a fuel pump that is an intank drop in, or close to it. im into conversions and its waht i do...
1993 mustang 5.0 w/t5 converted that to a 2003 4.6 w/ 3650
1976 nova 327 w/ th-350 converted that to a 2005 5.3 w/ 4l60e drive by cable.

thats the background and now this is my 2nd 87chevy, and i think im going to keep it this time.

im purchasing a 2002 6.0 and 4l80e transmission :) and getting rid of the 305 or 350 tbi and 700r4.

so just like the title says, is there such a fuel pump? i dont really want to do a dual out of tank fuel pumps, but if thats my only option, then thats that. holly has a kit and i just mentioned it. i am awaiting their email and thought i would post up here. oh and im not a noob, i did a few hours research before i posted this. thanks and i am in the mists of resurrecting

You can use a walbro 255l High pressure pump for a TPI camaro in that sending unit. Sounds like a good project to me, should be nice and quick with the light and twistable 87 frame.

what do you mean light and twistable frame? in my last 87chevy (long bed) i pulled the 350 tbi out and put a built 496 stroker motor, built th400, built 9" with detroit locker and never had any wierd ness besides tearing up trans mounts.. but i also have never researched the frame strenghts and weakness'.. do you have a website with some info?

it looks like this site is what i been searching for. i was reading an article on a montie carlo - ls1 conv. and he used a tbi tank, tube assy and a upgraded walbro intank pump.
long story short, i will order/try one and compare it with the one i have currently. this wont happen for a month or so. i am waiting for my title on my 01 silverado s/b so i can sell it to my friend. once i sell it im going to get my 6.0 and 4l80e.

I put a camaro pump in the stock TBI sender in a 90 K5 Blazer(old body style) to feed a LT1, so yes, a camaro TPI pump fits
