I am putting a 4.3L vortec from a 94 blazer in my 82 CJ5. What do I use for a Fuel tank so the blazer fuel pump will install?

Autozone carries an external fuel pump that I have used with great results. AC-Delco PArt number EP240. It runs about $65 and you can just add a return line to your old tank. (I soldered a new fitting into the sending unit on top of my tank.

That is not what I'd call a "restoration"

You should change that that to "CJ5 Desecration"

you can fit the fuel pump in the stock tank.

What I did on mine is cut the tube off the pickup and put the fuel pump on. I took the grommet for the wiring off of a gm sending unit and used that along with the support bracket for the fuel pump.

Its a tight fit, but it will go in there.
