I would recommend the racetronix kit. I just put one in and it's a top notch product. Harris Speed Works (sponsor) is where I got mine and I also highly recommend those guys. Fast shipping and a good kit.

My vote goes to Racetronix for the Plug & Play feature.

The Walbro 340 is the 255gph pump. We keep them in stock. The 98 tank is easy to work with in installing the pump. It is very costly to swap to the plastic tank. Nothing from your previous setup works with the new tank. Pump/sender assembly, EVAP, filler neck all would need to be replaced as well.

I would just keep the metal tank. The hassle wouldn't be near worth the weight savings.
