That's kinda misleading.
Swapping into my 86 B2, most everything from a 92 Explorer, engine/transmission-transfer case/complete wiring harness - engine and cab. Dash from a 89-90 B2, interior from same. That gives an idea of what I'm up to.
Now I am to the fuel system, I have the Explorer wiring harness back to the fuel tank in the B2 and am surprised that it is very close to the same length, so I am thinking about putting the Explorer fuel pump into the B2 tank, which happens to be 3/4 full, and siphoning it out is not an option.
First off, will the pump sealing plate that is held in place by the lock ring fit the hole in the B2's tank? If that will fit, I can then use the metal fuel lines to the engine and eliminate the second pump in the fuel rail.
And seeing as I am lazy and know that sooner or later, I will have to replace the fuel pump and I don't have the desire to drop the tank now or later. My plan at the present, and I may just do it anyway as I am where I am on this swap, is to cut the rear floor pan from the Explorer and then cut a hole above the pump/sending unit so that pain can be changed without having to drop the tank, then use a corresponding portion of the Explorer rear floor pan to patch the hole. It will be sealed up with silicone and pop riveted in place, rather than metal screws.
Any thoughts on either ?.
