My 360 and it's Fuel Pump

Postby cv70chall » 02 Nov 2011 12:53

I've got the engine completed and ready to go into the car, but I want to make sure the stock fuel pump can keep up.
I know it's easy to replace once in, but I figured I would address it now.
The 360 is .30 over with a bumped up cam, so it'll be a little on the mean side.
Should I go for a higher volume pump or will this one do the trick?

It will be fine. It might start struggling at the end of a full throttle quarter mile run. Maybe. But for now it will be fine.

The only thing you need to do is strip the orange paint off those bolts. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I know. They were accidentally left on. Already planned!
