Yeah man, kind of agree with Mike about the 15"s.I'm still voting for 18-19-inch Concave rims
lol
Dumbass Dave, there's a new CT I deserve @madmike1157 , @Noobz347 .
I will be going with an inline pump Chris. I just don't want to do a mechanical pump. I have a new stock tank.I have a few Dumb questions (try and act surprised.) you're not running a giant carb or carbs right?
Would a mechanical fuel pump or an inline electric pump and regulator with new fuel lines and a stock tank be adequate?

I'm still thinking 19"s in the rear with 18's in the front. Look back at that red GT I posted a picture of. It's real inspirational to me.Please. Please whatever you do do not put a 15" wheel on your car. Nothing says " dated" quite as well as a 15" wheel. If your plans ever include a Cobra front brake conversion, you can take your 15" wheels straight to eBay town and sell them for a loss, cause ain't no 13" rotor gonna fit under no stinkin weanie assed 15" wheel.
15" wheels are for drag racers, the resto-mod guys of the world, and a few fashion challenged goobers still wearing parachute pants.
The rest of the world that realizes that cornering performance comes with a bigger wheel, and a shorter sidewall choose 17/18/19" wheels instead.
I was thinking SS between the pump and regulator Nick. Trying to figure out cost. I'm willing to blow up to $700 on the next paycheck for this.Thats what my Ranger had. Holley inline electric pump, FPR up in the bay. The lines were like a hard plastic fuel line from the tank to the pump, then rubber fuel lines from the pump forward. That was for a mild 351W, and I never had a problem with fuel pressure.
Still not getting off that easy.

I will probably be using hardlines for the route between the pump and regulator.
Just want to see if anyone has experience with a kit, anything to make my life easier.
I really, really like Aeromotive's stuff.Fuel lab and Aeromotive have cool stuff - I'm guessing in a year or so you are gonna want 'Mo Powah' . So maybe that was the point of your original question- building a fuel system to support It
Thanks Mike, that's exactly what I was looking for in info.
This was/is the fuel pump that I used on the red car. A Holley HP125. Rated for a carburetor would work with both gasoline, and alcohol.
Also rated for stock engines and capable of supporting up to 700 HP N/A. (least that's what Holley says)

Holley has always had both the Blue, and Black El-Cheapo pumps. Unlike the HP pump pictured, they are noisy as hell and have been known to not last long enough to be considered reliable. But the Blue and Black pumps are cheap enough.
If you want to spend big money of a fuel system,..by all means go ahead. I figure with the pump at 230.00, a pre, and post filter costing another couple of hundred, and a feed line made out of aluminum with the appropriate tube nuts and sleeves another 50-60 bucks. So,...500.00 all in?
I've always used aluminum hard lines when plumbing a car. They are super easy to work with, and bending them only requires one of those spring "over-sleeve" bending kits and a single flare kit to build it.
The Monster uses a Mallory Marine F.I. pump.
Exibit "A" on the bend-ability of said aluminum lines.
You gotta know that That statement,.....and other's like:Here's a funny one, Holley does not recommend for you to mount a fuel regulator on the exhaust manifold!
You have to know this recommendation has to come from someone having actually tried to mount the regulator on the exhaust manifold. Jeez......
Maybe I should limit myself to two beers while running the fuel system?
Thanks Mike, that's exactly what I was looking for in info.
Did you use a regulator with the pumps?
Ah! Did some reading, it's not needed. Why does this make me paranoid then? Could be my anal side trying to have it's voice heard!
They do recommend to use a regulator though, my anal side has been justified!
Anything to worry about with aluminum lines?
