who makes an excellent fuel pump that will last for ever and flow really well? Is Mallory or Carter good makes? what about Holleys fuel pump or BBK? and what LPH should I get for a stock 5.7 350 TPI?

thanks in advance

 

No guarantees on anyone's brand of pump. Alot of folks like the Walbro's. I installed a AC/Delco pump from CarQuest 5 years ago and no problems here {yet}. I figure the GM OEM part lasted 15 years with no issues, so another one should last another 15 years - but only time will tell the tale.

"Bosch state-of-the-art turbine fuel pumps offer many advantages when compared to older roller-cell and inner-gear pump designs. Not only do these pumps offer near silent operation and improved drivability, the core components of this turbine design significantly reduce wear and deliver a longer service life. Illustrated step-by-step instructions are included with all Bosch Turbine Fuel Pumps for safe and easy installation.

Bosch Fuel Pump Features
Superior turbine pump design virtually eliminates fuel pulsation. Provides better drivability, reduced noise, and longer life
Bosch impeller ring provides smooth fuel flow and reliable performance
Precision, spin-balanced and polymer-encased armature reduces noise and vibration
Premium carbon brushes provide a longer and more reliable service life
Non-return valve maintains system pressure and reduces hot start problems
Noise suppression coil virtually eliminates radio frequency interference "

 

no other thoughts or comments on other brands?

 

I've always read here alot of folks complaining about the Airtex - I believe that's the standard el-cheapo pump from advance/autozone.

 

i have been selling auto parts for years. ive been selling delco for the last 5 as a wholesaler to shops. i discontinued airtex as almost every one i sold came back defective. right now i sell delco and denso pumps, the only ones i would recommend aside from those are delphi and bosch. however, bosch's quality has been slipping in recent years and delphi is still in bankruptcy.

 

alot of people like walbro in LS/LT swaps. havent heard mopre than a few bad experiences with them

 

best Aeromotive external

 

big fan of ACDelco, Walbro, and Bosch pumps. All well made, very few issues. I've personally run acd and walbro in my own vehicles. Since these cars are such a bear to do a pump swap on, I'm more than happy to pay a few extra dollars to save doing the job again any time soon.

 

+1 for walbro

 

Do it right the first time and go with delco or walboro cause we all know its a pain dropping that tank.

 

Agree with whats been said so far. Lest not forget my hometown pump heros
