Yesterday my friend and I put in the reworked gas tank. It took all freaking day!! The task of installing the gas tank has to be the single hardest part of rebuilding your thirdgen.
Anyway, I got the tank for free from a dude who pulled it from a V6. I thought the pump was good, but after testing it, we found that it was not. Seeing as how I'm cheap and didnt really have $$ for a $70 pump, my friend said he had a 190gph pump that he was using in his 93 mustang before he went to a 255gph. He said $20 for it. So we retrofitted his ford pump to the pump assembly, rewired the harness to use his pig tail and viola! Fueled by Ford.
Just thought this to be a kinda funny story.

Hey, if it's fits without a serious rig-job, pumps fuel, and runs on 12V power I can't see why it wouldn't work. The basic design and intended working environment of all OEM-style in-tank pumps are similar.

basically all pumps are the same, they do one thing, pump. It's a question of getting it to correct fit on the assembly and using the right parts. We tested it once it was in the tank, it worked great.
