Default L82 swap

New guy and new to the lt swap. I am swapping in a 2020 lt 82 5.3 into a 52 ford and i want to use a fuel cell that i already have.
I plan on using the pwm module and a inline pump to feed the high pressure pump. My question is can i use any inline pump
that meets the psi requirement or do i need a pwm specific pump. Thanks

Hey there! Topic is a smidge on the confusing side, but in doing tons of research for an LT swap of my own, I think using the PWM in tank pump to be the best setup in combination with the GM FPM. If you already have the fuel cell that is compatible with the newer style pumps, check out the pumps that came on the CTSV/ZL1/ZR1. The key is to find a pump that sits on the bottom of the fuel cell, they don't hang in there like the traditional style.

Be sure and check out Vaporworx, Carl is a wealth of knowledge and has tons of into on PWM fueling that is very helpful.

100’s of LT swaps are using basic Ls style fuel systems that are simply regulated. No need to make it complicated
