how hard to replace fuel pump?

It looks nice. I think the trap door is about the same as 4th gen. I'd go with that and avoid the bolts for taking it out the bottom. I'd even be pressing it thinking that perhaps you could throw an external holley pump on it, using the line feeding to the engine. With 3" exhaust, it may be loud enough to drown out the droning from the pump being mounted to the frame.

The only problem with that is that if the in-tank pump is failed adding an external pump in-line doesn't work

The method is the same as a 4th gen but you might wanna look over on TGO to find the exact cutting specs... Like the measurements, I have seen it done on a thirdgen before and I know many guys over on TGO have done it I am sure there is a great write up thread over there. Prolly only a couple hour job.

I'm not sure if the 3rd gen trap door method is the same as the 4th gen trap door method. You basically just take a cutting wheel to your floor pan right above the gas tank and cut a square out just the right size to get the fuel pump out.

how hard is the trap door method?

any input on the car? thanks

Not a bad job....you can knock it out in a few hours.

If you drop the tank and it is a MI car.... the time could double depending on how many bolts break.

Its in the gas tank, so you either need to drop the tank to get to it or do a trap door method. Which involves cutting a hole in the car... Your choice either one is not very hard at all.
