One issue that I'm finding with this nearly 230 page long thread, is that some of the products, companies and websites that were recommended from the early days are no longer valid. I've been working through this thread methodically and keep coming across dead links and products that are no longer available. I'm looking for a fuel pump for the LS3 and the early recommendations were for a Denso 950-0155 which was recommended for a 1997 Toyota twin turbo Supra. This one seems to be discontinued. I did look up this application on Rock Auto and the best (or at least most expensive) one currently listed is a GMB 5991140. I would assume it would meet the specs and fit correctly, but am not familiar with GMB as a brand. I don't want to use a Walbro since most people mention how loud they are.

Thanks for the reply. That's definitely what I've done so far.

Did you see my reply? I replied to multiple people in the same post and I thought you might miss it. 😉

The latest I think is the fuel pump from a V8 4Runner or same gen Tundra. I went with an Aeromotive, recommended earlier in the thread, but it required modification of the fuel pump hanger. Today, I would get the Denso V8 4Runner pump.

Took others advice. I bought the denso fuel pump for the v8 4Runner. Notice the differences. 4 runner on the left (beefier on steroids). I had to use the LC filter, the 4Runner was a little longer so won’t fit in the tank. The connectors were different, so I had to cut the wires and do some soldering.
In addition, gasket was really stuck, used the method below to pop it out (paint lid opener).

I'm trying to track down a picture and/or measurement of the distance between the crankshaft pulley and the panhard support tube that goes under it. I'm trying to establish the height of the engine for motor mount placement. I haven't been able to find a good picture or measurement. My crankshaft pulley is 7.625" diameter.

I happen to be working on the truck.

I moved my mounts forward 1.25" and the frame rises slightly as the mounts are moved forward.

Perfect. I'm trying to keep my t-case in the stock location and the pulley is right above that tubular cross member for the panhard. But I can throw in the radiator skid plate? (not sure what that piece is called) and do a measurement there. Is your pulley the same 7.625" diameter?

It is the stock one on a GMC Savana L96 6.0L, which appears to be 19300488 and has a diameter of 7.68 according to Rock Auto.
 
Don’t know why I only waited till now to try this, but I’ve been meaning to make DBW pedal brackets for 80 series, so I decided to try our 60 series bracket to see if it would work as a starting point. Turns out, it’s already 99% there. So these will be on the market shortly 😂

Remove your front springs so you are at full bump. Then put the engine in where you want it. Much easier to see that way.

I read many swaps but didn't see this information so I went with the 4 runner fuel pump. Also, the guys that run the 4 runner pump I didn’t see that they had any problems. My old fuel pump had 400k miles, so it's probably still better than running the old one. Where did you get the 150 LPH info on the 4runner fuel pump? Can't find the info on google. Picture: 4 runner pump on the left, LC on the right. 4 runner looks thicker.

I used the supra denso 255lph pump. Basically dropped right in with minor mods.
