Changing to 4.0L drivetrain : In tank pump or inline?

[captspillane]

Inline pumps are horrible. I have a Hesco MPI kit and a Howell TBI kit, and both used inline pumps on the transmission skid plate. They both suck horribly and I will never use another inline pump again.

They burn out about once a year because they don't cool well and are very fragile to filtration.

Hesco wants $140 for a replacement. A comparable in tank pump costs about $30 if you order a stock unit off Rockauto and adapt it to the AMC pickup tube.

They are very very loud and annoying.

If you run out of gas you must unplug the input line and let gas flow out all over the place until the air is gone and you can push the line back on the pump while cursing. The inline pumps cannot prime themselves even if you top the gas tank off completely.

FYI, someone on here rigged up a GM in-tank fuel pump to fit in the Eagle tank easily through the sender area. The tank would not need to be dropped to replace it, and the pumps cost less than $20. Baffling may still be an issue, but it could potentially be remedied with some creative work.

Do you know who? I've hit a huge hurdle...forgot about the fuel pump and listened to some that said an XJ one would fit right in there. Now I'm cornholed, tank is off and I'm running out of money.

What's a cheap solution to get my fuel injection working?

If you have a wagon, I'm planning to put the whole XJ tank in mine with the original fill blocked off and the Eagle filler grafted to the tank. Aside from that, there is a Holley external pump I can't recall the number of that works. Did you add a return line already or mod the vapor return line to work?

Inline pump.

   You have to modify the stock zj pump to do this but it will work as you can see. I have used a zj pump off a 93 and also a 95 pump off an xj. They both required some minor modification to get into the tank.
