Got to thinking for you. Just go to 87-93 s-10 truck tank. It be baffled and have injection fuel pump. Should be easy swap using correct pressure pump on it. Then if you can get some fuel lines from donor, can cut/ modify ends to work. older 5.3 engines have regulator on fuel rail. What year stuff going in? Cable throttle body---can use stock Silverado gas pedal cable 99-02. 03-up was dbw throttle.

Motor and trans came out of a 2000 ext.cab 2wd Chevy. So I can use the gas tank or just the pump and sending unit.

I would use the pump itself as its rite pressure. Just put it on a s-10 tank sender from fuel injected tank from 87-93 s-10
