There's plenty of fuel injection places that make exernal pumps. Just make sure to get one that fits your requirements. I've had one for 4 years now, in blistering heat out west, and it still works great.

Transmission: 700R4 rebuilt w/TCI kit
Axle/Gears: 9" from 57 ranchero unsure gears.
in the effort to save you some cash its not hard to install it in the tank, I did it in mine with just some hose clamps sounds cheesy but its been in there almost 4 years and no problems, just takes a little ingenuity and a little patience. And if you had the original one it will get you through, the one I used was out of the donor car so there is no telling how old it actually is.

'87 Monte Carlo SS,with '89 IROC 350,700 trans, blew up 3.73 posi stuck with crappy 2.73's neeed gears! hooker headers, flowmaster 2 1/2" exhaust true dualls, recently installed a set of alum vette heads 58cc, new cam for a paxton, recently installed paxton, OMG need a posi bad. Found a guy who can build me a ford 9" (yep sorry guys) for less than 500 then comes all the goodies such as disk brakes so on and so on, will it ever end?? I hope not!!

I put a holley external fuel pump on my car for my swap, it's 45psi and flows 255lph.
It was $150 or so.

I do have an in-tank pump and sender I don't need, you can have it cheap.
I also have misc sensors and relays for MAF TPI that I am not using.
Let me know what you are looking for.
