Fixed your quote thing...

I believe that the pump is with the engine... I'm pretty sure that I'll just get a Summit/RCI tank and most likely an aftermarket pump (if I even smell the feeling of "will quit on the trail" that old pump is outta there).

I'll learn more as I get into this further, but is there an output number that I need to hit with the fuel pump? (off the top of your head, if you don't know, that's cool)

Thanks man.

The fords will run with rail pressure between 37 and 42 psi normally. My ranger pump has the ability to go to 100 when the regulator dosen't work. Pretty much the same requirements as a TPI chevy. Friends of mine are using fuel cells with a hole cut in the top and a yj bolt in fuel sender/pump assembly so their gauge still works. Some have swapped the ford efi pump onto their jeep sender assembly.

Just an FYI, but usually an OEM in-tank pump is way more reliable than an aftermarket inline style especially on an off-road rig.

I tend to share the same opinion.

Interesting.... any thoughts as to why that might be?

Fantastic info, keep it coming... please.

Parts that can be had locally are always the wiser choice. Auto Zones can be found easier than Summit!

In-tank pumps are submersed in the fuel and thus help keep it cooler and that is the optimum location to pump from (avoids having to suction any length at all), plus most OEM parts are way more reliable than aftermarket stuff (assuming it is used within the original design parameters). OEM parts get tested a LOT more than aftermarket stuff, I wouldn't doubt 100:1 or more.
