i dont have the part #s right now but i can tell you that i got the pump on rock auto, for a 2010 L99 Camaro, and the tensioner from rockauto, for a 99 corvette. TRUCK is running awesome! 1 problem tho. my ignition will not turn the damn engine off. the whole truck just stays on and doesnt recognize i switched ignition to of. i was having a weird problem when there would be about a 3 second delay for the truck to "register" that i turned it off. now when the engine is running it will not shutoff. HOWEVER, if i pull the fuel pump relay while the engines running the key works normally and shuts the engine, gauge cluster pretty much the entire truck down like its supposed to....
think its in the fuel pump wiring?

nice work, very cleanly done. I do have a question though, the headers look like they tuck pretty close to this engine which I need. How far does the #8 cylinder tube stick out from the head?
... The fit isnt as bad as you would think

truck is moving under its own power now!! i had the entire driveshaft rebuilt with spicer joints and a forged TH400 short slip yoke, came out real good. it only took them 2 hours. this thing is a ******* MONSTER. on question though, i have a 3200 stall, is it supposed be a like a "delay" when the trucks rolling? it moves like normal when i put it in any gear. this is my first time ever driving a stalled car so maybe im not used to it? when it throttle it enough its like a semi hit the back of the truck? is this normal? how is a stalled setup supposed to drive? excuse my noobishness.

I wish I could help you on your questions. But just came to say, awesome build.
I will say if I floor mine above 3000 it moves hard, so I imagine it would feel like a kick when the converter hit's the stall speed.
