87 Bronco II using empty fuel canister for new fuel filter?

[surratt]

Its time to run my fuel lines in my 5.0 swap. Ive got an 87 with the empty black fuel canister. Im wondering if anyone has tried to locate a filter from earlier models and put it inside to avoid having to mount and buy an fittings for a separate inline filter? Also any pics of how you ran your lines or what fittings you decided to go with would be awesome

in my old 88 ranger I just used a filter for an 88 ranger since my canister was leaking
