One other thing I should mention here, as I have seen the problem occur on more than one swap......Go ahead and put the fuel pump in-tank, like they are on the new cars. Both cars I have done the swap on have had problems with the pumps going into vapor lock once the weather warms up into the 80's or above (better part of the year here in Texas). SERIOUS drivablility problems result.
The cure for both vehicles was the same.....in-tank pump. I've also talked to a guy who works in a shop doing street rods, and he has said the same thing, don't use an in-line pump. I know some people who are running in-line pumps without a problem, but I also know what it got me.....a collection of in-line pumps on my bench.
Oh yeah, not that you have to do it.....but moving the battery to the trunk sure frees up a lot of room.
