I hate to beat a dead horse but the walbro pump is just fine. I've used them 5 times in my own builds, 7 times for friends cars and about the same for customers cars and only had one pump ever die on me. That was partially my fault as I was building my own dual in tank set up and wired it wrong. Oh and the 65 is pisser! Looks bad *** skimming down the raod! G

thanks. cant wait to race your truck.
made the motor mounts. i just have to weld them together. i placed everything based on the stock truck manifolds fitting. the motor is alittle farther forward than it normally would and alittle higher. about 1/4" clearance with the steering and heater box thing.

id say make a log style manifold... dont bother wasting time making headers, and the manifolds look like they point in a weird direction/ hit stuff/ weigh a ton.
