If you're just looking at an OEM replacement, the walbro 255lph is max value @ $115 delivered.
The Aeromotive 340lph we can get for you at $189 delivered.

Ive always bolted the tank in, And then connected the lines without a problem


exactly why im suggesting someone to assist who has done it before! :)
i think it would be much easier if i did it for the second time around.

Anyone want to help me do it hahaha doubt it.

Beagle_Senior, I'd love to know how it goes for you when you find out.

Dylmrt, can you get the Aeromotive ones all the time at that price?

Hey mate, I managed to replace the fuel pump with a Walbro all by myself in one day.
However, I did have a pit at home and sussed out the job a far bit before I did it.

Take your time, inspect the fuel lines and breathers before you put it all back too.

Go to my showroom thread and I think on the last page I posted a link to a webpage that I used to help with the procedure. Also, the starter motor is close to the fuel filter so if your replacing that too (which i suggest you do) disconnect your battery. Sparks and fuel don't mix.

The biggest problem I had was with the filler tube. There's a 'flexible' rubber coupling between the metal filler pipe and the tank. I say 'flexible', as mine was rock solid and I couldn't budge it. Ended up having to remove heaps of stuff to get leverage to remove it.
Otherwise it wasn't too bad, just real time consuming. Make sure you have some decent jacks and stands, as you need to raise the car enough to slide the tank out.
The guide I used is here:

I went Supra TT. Bit better flow than the Walbro, meant to be quieter and a bit better rep for reliability. Was worth the money for peace of mind IMO.

I use a Wallbro.
Here's an alternative to taking the tank out. Note that this modification would need to be engineered to be legal on a street car.
