What fuel pump to use?
What fuel pump to use? I'm putting an LS1 out of a 98 Trans Am into my 1980 CJ5, and need a fuel pump. Just a quick search from Google and Jegs and I came up with this, what do you guys think? Suggestions? Opinions? I'm open to everything. Still learning.

what about the aeromotive pumps? And where is the best place to get the Walbro pumps? I am getting ready to put the LS7 in my 32 pro-street truck, an will be looking for some good advise. I will need an in line pump, so I hope that wont be a problem. Also should I go with th HP model? I have a 10 an line now will that be to large, I also have a 8 an return now, An I could make the feed if need be. What do you guys think?

i used rubber/clamps(ghetto!) because i dont have the time or money to do AN/braided steel. no problems with it
i dont think you would get away with rubber lines for very long. i chose braided lines/ an fittings because its one of those things that you do once and its done for good. a cheaper way would be to buy some hard line, flare the ends, and then use an fittings at the fuel tank and motor.
Well say you're on a budget.... And the motor is already set up for everything... Turn key. Would I be ok with the cheap stuff for a month or two? I definitely DO plan on getting the stainless lines and AN fittings, just can't afford it right now.
Jomamma, have you tried this before? Any idea how well this will work for just temp use?

rubber lines are not bad/un-reliable. IMO people think this because they are not professional looking which makes them think they do not work well. the walbro 255lph pump COMES with barbed male fittings- made for rubber hoses. if you want everything to look neat/professional then go with AN. ive been running rubber hose for the past 7 months and i have had no problems
there is nothing wrong with using rubber hoses, just make sure they are on there good lol

braided stainless lines don't last forever. The rubber-lined ones deteriorate almost as fast as non-braided rubber, and you can't see what condition the rubber is in. The teflon lined braided stainless lines will last long time--usually it's the fittings that get damaged/broken on those.
I used Aeroquip socketless hose for the flex portion of my fuel lines. Good quality and easy to assemble. No tools needed to install the fittings on the hose, and it's good for 250psi.

Go with the Walbro 255, we have them in stock, with the filter and fittings for $109.99.
Give me a call on the rest of the stuff. We have all the fuel lines and fittings you will need to complete your swap.

What do you guys think about this? It's not made for my frame, but I'm pretty positive I could make it work. And The fuel pump in there doesn't have to stay. I could get a different in tank one. Will the Walbro fit in there?
