I'd recommend a stock replacement pump.

Walbro 255lph pump with the strainer and wiring kit, I've been running mine for several years, I used the trap door method to access the tank - no problems at at all.

Know about what hp that's good for? I'm actually in the middle of a LS swap excited about it wanted to change the pump while it's in the air. I've seen the trap door method seems easy enough. What did you seal yours up with?

Cork gasket and a bunch of screws here.

Sheet of 1/4" aluminum with self tapping screws as well as a bead of sealant.

Sealant would be better, but I was chasing down a vapor issue at the time so I used cork incase I had to keep removing it.
