should just be able to get a drop in 255lph Walbro 340 pump for around $130. I really don't think the pump would be different between you v6 and an ls1

the OEM listing is different, probably for the connections or fuel lines. I'll see if the repair shop can put in an aftermarket or LS1 type with minor modifications

the shop wants to do it right. ordered the right pump. They don't want to deal with modifications. Book shows 4 hours labor on a 98 V6 to drop tank and replace. They won't cut a hole under the seat and neither will I. I'm looking at around $600 altogether.
