my pump rebuilder figured that the pitting at the lift pump was because the car used to sit for days and weeks at a time and water separated out of the diesel and causing this

ugh. my suggestion to anyone wanting to do a similar swap, get a 97 for a 97, a 98 for a 98 etc. Most hooked right up, but stuff the alarm airbags etc were not exactly the same. I got it all working but i did have to flip back and forth through the wiring diagrams to sort it all out
