Madmike3434  I see you have a pretty health v8 chevy in mind for that weee car  Have you talked with CURT from AJAX  about a total engine  I have  a real good friend that just purchased a boxed 383 with all the goodies and he told me it was cheaper and more personal than purchasing a crate engine and ajax is just over the hill from your place . Now 425 hp and 460 torque  dont you think that is a little much for the 35,shouldn't that peel the paint of the front end lol  vette59jdwl

[/nothing is written in stone as far engine choice is concerned...........might be a ZZ4 again with hot cam set up, or the ZZ383 .   Induction system is going to be a set of 48 IDF webers.  Just ordered a tremec magnum T56 6 speed stick trans today to go behind one of them.

 The T56 might allow me to attempt the CANADIAN land speed record on the 401 ..

In all fairness to munch...he asked about installing an electric pump...the thread took another direction.  A mechanical pump will work..everyone agrees on that...but his questions was about mounting an electric pump that he already has. He also mentioned that he had an electric pump on the car previously and was just replacing it.

I was in the same situation and read where guys had them mounted on the tank without a problem..so that's how I did mine. 

I have a feeling that the biggest concern in mounting an electric pump is to be sure it always has fuel in it, which acts as a lubricant?  The pumps burn up when dry...so my idea was to position the pump in a way that fuel will always settle inside the pump so it doesn't start dry?  Again..I may be wrong?

The manufacturer intructs you to mount them low or risk failure. I bet failure is a result of dry starts..so could a simple solution like routing the in and out lines higher than the pump be a solution so the fuel rests in the pump

Again....just asking...please be gentle

  Ed,

What do you think?

That basically is how I have mine setup...mine works fine!
