fuel delivery options
what up everyone. I don't know if I should be putting this here or the fuel section.
im completely new to these motors. im learning as I go. so sorry if I ask a stupid question.
im getting ready to install my motor in my 63 nova wagon and its time to start thinking about fuel delivery options. I built a lq4 with l92 heads and ls3 intake. should make about 530hp.
im trying to figure 0ut the best bang for the buck and least amount of headache. internal and external pumps. I was wondering what you guys are running or your thoughts on what I should do.
iv seen people modify their tanks and use corvette pumps. or use external pumps and iv looked into the aeromotive pumps which I like. but I don't feel like spending $500 just for a fuel pump. what do you guys think I should do?
thanks.

I did a factory 4th gen fuel bucket in my 2nd gen tank. I used a kit from vetteworks...under their 3rd gen LS swap section. A 4th gen pump may not be enough for your HP requirements...may need to upgrade pump or go with another fuel bucket setup. Regardless, the vetteworks style fuel system works well. I've run my tank down to 1/8 with no hesitation or stalling. I had an external pump in a sumped tank...worked well...just noisy and not sure if it would last too long.

You can use a CTS V fuel pump modules & get Vapor Worx mounting ring & their PWM & SCM. & don't need a fuel pressure regulator & it supports around 750 hp. Read about it on Vapor Worx website & can modify ur factory tank. You can find the CTS V modules used from wreaked Caddy & they are good for 100,000 miles or so & get them for $250.00.
