Fuel Delivery Question??
I was just reading a website, when I do finally get some heads, I'll be pushing around 350-385hp hopefully.
Now, we'll I need a new fuel pump, I'm running the stock LG4 right now. When I got the 350 I had bought a pump, but it wouldn't fit between the block and the frame or something like that.

The Carter aka Federal Mogul hi flow mechanical fuel pumps
with the rotateable bottom housing will fit your F- Body
You can buy them with various fitting size
inlets and outlets, which you can position to best fit your car.
you would want to have a minimum 3/8" fuel line
from the tank to the carb to ensure enough fuel flow.
The pump I have puts out 9psi at idle.
A edelbrock carb only likes about 6psi so ya need to use a regulator. (Holley)
As long as your present pump can maintain
3 to 4psi thru a 3/8" line at WOT at high rpm in hi- gear (like at the finish line)
it is feeding your motor enough fuel.
