best gas tank for fuel injected 5.0

I'm wanting to know what would be the best option for a gas tank when running a 1993 fuel injected 5.0. I would like to use a stock tank out of another vehicle. building on a budget sucks.
thanks

I put in a 1973 Mustang tank in the back of my truck. If you bend the pump(1995 Mustang) framework slightly , the sock will sit just off of the bottom of the tank. Then there's another hole in the back and I put in a fuel fill hose from a Sunbeam Tiger. The float/sender from a slightly earlier Mustang then goes in the side. My only question is if it will interface with my gauge. I think the whole set-up would go less than $300 (all new parts). I know that's not cheap, but that's what I have.
