I am tired of letting the 83 sit and the inside of the tank is rusty from sitting. I would just go ahead and buy the new pump and slap it all together but I have parts out the back end and a bigger tank is always better except for when it comes time to fill.... lol so far the swap is pretty straight forward the only issues are the difference in the fuel lines and the wiring being directed to one funky looking plug otherwise pretty easy. will post more when done :D

Not sure what you swap is but saw the "fuel pump not running after the swap" I did 331 swap and my fuel pump wouldn't run either, had something to do with EEC not knowing the engine was running, would prime but not run. I ended up getting fuel pump relay from summit and wiring it up that way. Works like a champ now.
