efi pump for tbi swap??

I'm swapping in a 350 tbi/700r4 from an 89 suburban to my 82 swb c-10. I'm looking for a junkyard priced solution in a frame mounted pump.. the c-10 has 1 good 16gallon saddle tank. i'll eventually replace the bad right side and hopefully use the tank switch valve and get use of both tanks...

anyone know of a good choice?? i heard that the f150 pump is an inline/frame mount unit. anyone know year/model/engine of a suitable pump?? 15lbs shouldn't be hard to get. put it between the selector valve and the injectors.

my other idea is to see if the sending unit from the 40gallon burban tank will fit and use the stock in-tank pump. I know the hole is the same size/ o-ring same part number... might fit?? but no baffles in tank... what if the sending unit is shorter?? extend pickup??

I guess i can chrome the 40 gallon burban tank....mount it in the bed... surround it with diamond plate...with an acrylic window in the top...put a neon light in it... call it a custom "long cruise" tank.

oops... forgot the junkyard budget..

i need a cheap pump solution

any ideas?? anyone have a pair of 87 saddle tanks w/sending units laying around??

Thanks

You could get the intank assembly from an '87 TBI truck.
