What year 4th gen tank? That makes a big difference. I am not familiar with the LT tanks, but you can't use it in the LS, plastic, tanks

Maybe you can, but it's, in my opinion, not good advice as you lose all the benefits of the bucket design. I did the road course in my car with less than 3 gallons of fuel without a hiccup, you're not doing that without the integrity of the bucket.

You should use a fuel bucket designed for the 4th gen plastic tank. You can change the fuel pump in certain situations such as the Racetronix upgrade. The fuel pump has to fit the bucket, and the wiring has to integrate with the plug at the top of the fuel bucket. You can't splice wires inside the tank. I had quite a challenge when I changed the fuel level sensor on my fuel bucket.

Awesome. Thanks for the replies. I dont want to drill the bucket, the buckets the main reason im doing the tank swap,lol. I guess new pump it is. Better now while the tanks out anyway.

Yes, but I had to replace the fuel bucket assembly (long story). They’re not cheap. I bought another used one, but the pump was faulty. Then bought a new Delphi fuel bucket that was made for an 02 Z28. The fuel level sensor on that bucket mounted sideways and was incompatibility with the Grand Prix sensor mount. On each attempt, there was something that wasn’t compatible. I couldn’t take the pump from the Delphi and put it in the fuel bucket that worked with the Grand Prix sensor. Bottom line - Use stock fuel bucket assembly with Grand Prix sensor. Even with that, there is a little bit of a challenge with attaching the Grand Prix sensor to the top plug of the fuel bucket.
