Just a suggestion: If you use a low pressure pump and run it into a 1-gallon sump tank with the high pressure pump, it's really easy to change your fuel pumps if you ever have trouble.

@mrmidnight32 5 лет назад

morris montgomery because he’s probably the guy who bring $500 less than what the motor is listed for on a bargain find motor. Then uses all old or wrong parts just cause it’s cheap which causes more work and more head ache down the line. Than doing it right the first time by buying the proper modernsupporting mods for this modern motor like he should. I tell people al the time, just because it works doesn’t mean it’s right. Do it right the first time. But there will also be those guys who use fuel pumps from a 87 truck for a 2010 motor and wonder why it blew up from a lean condition 5 years later. Or hack their wire harness and leave shit grounding out instead of pulling or buying the proper new built harness.

@drwombat 5 лет назад

Around 04:05 you mention 2-3 different ways to configure a fuel delivery system, specifically the fuel pump and last mention the external fuel pump but only show one picture/item that being the external fuel pump... Are we to assume that the easiest and most hassle free method of resolving this issue is indeed the aftermarket external fuel pump in builds where the other two options aren't easier? Maybe a good rule of thumb being to go with an external and check if other easier options are available, and make sense, later?

ORRRR, or you can just stay with the old small block Chevy for about 1/4 to 1/2 the price and still make about the same power. But if you got 15K to spend for all this stuff, I recommend a big block chevy. It will make more power then either of them without even trying.

@tbomb6994 6 лет назад

Reliability is key though. I love older carbureted 350's and 454's built them all my life. Of course you can make a ton more power for the money but you lose that in reliability. I'd drop a BBC in something I may drive on the weekends or something but I'd swap a ls in a heartbeat for a daily. Imo

@everage86 6 лет назад

And the most important part is where is it making the hp in the power band. Horses to horses LS will win every time

@randelclawson7695 5 лет назад

Cheap and easy to add a single turbo to the LS with very little modification to what you've already done for the LS swap and make a guaranteed 500 whp for less than it will cost to build a BBC making the same power with the same reliability. I love BBCs too but the LS is an amazing platform for cheap reliable power.

New engine and transmission mounts, VATS delete on factory ECU, repin factory harness and cut out the unnecessary stuff, swap in factory dual fan radiator, add factory drive by wire pedal, Walbro fuel pump from EBay, then turn key and drive. All but the mounts and fuel pump can be sourced from a wrecking yard, and you can even use a fuel pump from there if you're really stingy on cash. If you can't handle a simple, and cheap, swap like this maybe you should refrain from bashing those that know how to, can and *have*.
