My fuel pump is starting to make noises - so I think she´ll crap out in the next weeks.

I´m planing on stroking the engine later on, so I´m looking to buy "the right things" - so: is there anything "better" than a OE replacement of the fuel pump - some "heavy-duty-high-flow-bulletproof-you-know-what-I-mean-thingie"???

walbro is always a favorite in my book for pretty much anything. just make sure you have some way of regulating the pressure at the fuel rail.
mounting a high flow pump might be a challenge. i've never done one in a xj

I bought a generic, in tank holly unit that supports 350hp. It is a little smaller than the oe one so you have to use some zip ties or big hose clamps to hold it in place. works fine though. cost about 85 bucks

I bought at Rockauto a new ACdelco fuel pump for my cherokee xj 1998. I ordered an ACDelco fuel pump (model EP2076) and they send me a Walbro pump GSS310 10707-1.
I heard that Walbro is a good brand but i´m not sure that is the correct model to my cherokee. Anybody know if this one will fits in my cherokee?

thank you.

Sorry, i think this question would be better at OEM tech discussion.

The stock pump will work fine for the stroker, I don't know of anyone running a different pump (doesn't mean there aren't any, but those I know of run the stock pump). Keep it simple and just get a replacement pump.

I am running a 4.7 stroker, and I am running a holly aftermarket pump. It was just as easy to install as the oe and it cost less at the parts store, provides more fuel and runs quieter. I believe I chose the one for a 4.6l mustang cobra.
