Wtf is up with the fuel hose fittings, pump, etc on the Vortech kit???

Is it just me or is getting the pump and fittings into the line like, impossible??

And tapping the pan.. I've searched tHe earth over for a 3/8 NPT tap..

Well not sure on the pump as I took the cleaner approach and added a big walbro intank pump as Personally the idea of a boostrer pump spliced into the line and rattling around did not please me anyway.

As for the 3/8 NPT tap I had difficulty finding one as well...Finally WENT TO A PLUMBING SUPPLY place...They had them...The bigger issue will be the required punches to make the hole...Thats the PITA..If you buy as suggested by vortech a 3/4 drift punch you will see it will be about 20 inches long...And will hit your suspension and make life difficult....What I did was buy a 1/2 inch one then had to buy a 3/4 one as well...The half inch one cleared the suspension....Then I CUT the 3/4 inch one where it was 1/2 inch diametter so it was shorter....Still a big pita....If I had to do it over again Id Pull the pan and have a bung welded ot it...

 

Hey man,

If I had the motor out i'd weld a bung to it in a heartbeat, but I'm afraid of welding it while its in the car, on the lift, cuz if I blow a hole in the pan that would be.. bad..

As far as the pump goes, that is really strange stuff.. I might buy
a bigger pump downt he road to replace it all.

I've got it punched ok so far.. was using an impact chisel and a hole punch bit.. BUt year, THe damn control arms are in the way.

Thanks for the reply..
