if the new tank is the same depth as the old tank, just chop a hole and plop it in. If it is deeper or shallower, you may have to extend or cut the sender to fit. Most times the in tank pump is mounted to a bracket that can be modified. If you have to extend it, extend it ABOVE the pivot of the level gauge, that way it may show full more often but it will still show empty when its empty.

You can get an inline from Napa, or some other parts store, but make sure the pressure is the same as the stock fuel pressure. Cant use a 5-9 lb. pump to replace a 35-40 lb. pump, etc. You will also have to hack into the stock wiring or run new wires. Its not a simple plug in.
