Measured to the top of the filler tube it is approx. 15" high. I guess it will stick down a little further than maybe anticipated but no worries the truck will get lifted and I will build a bullet proof skid plate for it. The truck I'm building had the aftermarket saddle tanks on it with the tank selector valve on the driverside floor, not gonna need those anymore! the tank I am using is from I believe a fuel injected TBI engine(not sure) any way got the filler tube the tank and the pump for 60 bones. Does any body know what fuel pressure those pumps run at? I haven't decided what engine I will use yet. Could I use this pump setup with a carb, and fuel pressure regulator?

I am doing this exact swap. Theres more photos in my build thread. It actually bolted in very easy. I havent got the fuel filler/door worked out yet until i get the bed back on. I'm going to fab in a fuel filler door behind the wheelwell ( got the door and hinge assembly off a 86 blazer). But anyway, I would not use that pump with a carb. It's almost 35 psi vs 5-6 for a carb. I'm running pro-flo (EFI) and I need to contact edelbrock and see if the stock pump (454 TBI) pump will work. If not, I'll stick with the external pump and mount it on the frame.
