aeromotive should have a pump you can use.....just look for a pump that can provide enuf pressure for the engine....I think 60psi+ should be ok.
You can use a corvette fuel regulator

what fuel system do you have for 5.3 anyway.....why wouldn't that work?

I have had bad luck with the aeromotive inline pumps. had the EFi pump and it ate itself in about a 1000 miles. Now I run the Bosch 420L inline pump with no problems.
