Default What is the line pressure of a 3.8l fuel pump

I've snag a v6 3.8 tank and pump from a 2001 car. What is the line pressure of? Or are they the same pumps?
Now if the v6 pump flows a tad lower than 58 psi that ls1 pumps have at the test port, using the ls2 or truck denso injectors that are 32# ers, would that at least get my project car running?
I'm doing a swap into my 85 z28 and the good ole metal tank has to be crap after sitting a lil over a decade. So for under $50 from lkq, i got a tank and pump. I'm trying to start planning the fueling.
Thanks in advance

I would be more concerned with flow rate. Pumps aren't rated by pressure. That is controlled by a regulator.

The OP needs to do a lot more research to keep this project from being a disaster. I wish him the best on what is sure to be a steep learning curve.

I would check part numbers on rock auto, it wouldn’t hurt.
