Yes, but I believe the carb and efi sending unit assembly is different sizes, you may need to swap in an 86-97 tank...

You could use that, but I'd stick with an intank pump for trouble free operation. Ford used this setup so the system wouldn't cavitate. If you must use the inline setup, get it as close to the tank as you can. Tank, filter, then pump. I'd add a high pressure filter between the pump and motor as a precaution, but thats me.

88400's fit great with a bodylift, without a bodylift the ps will point at the firewall.
