I am not the LS swap guru, but I do have to trucks with LS engines.LS Swap gurus, ......
Things I'm still unsure of:
1. I can use my existing fuel tanks/sending units, I'll just need to source a frame mounted fuel pump/regulator and figure out how to plumb a return (will this require tbi sending units for the tanks?)
About the frame mounted pumps, electric fuel pumps need to be close to the tank and low. Heat is the big enemy of an electric pump. Heat shield is a must to protect from exhaust heat.
@Bruce Wingate idea of a pump in the tank you already have sounds like a much better plan. Reading about many LS swaps on this forum, it seems most everyone swaps to a later tank and installs the correct pump.
