Those walbro 255 mph pumps will have some issues hitting 4 digits on E85.

I will be using walbro 340's. They seem to be the best and cheapest option.

Subscribing! I'll be building a very similar setup with a 1.32 AR v3 wheeled s480 from forced inductions on an almost identical bottom end, but I'll be running a th400 with a PTC converter.

This will be my first auto build, as I've ALWAYS been a die hard manual guy!

How far are those pistons out of the hole with a 1.300 compression height on a 6.125 rod? Or do they make a set with a 1.130 compression height?
Edit: nevermind I see they make a 3.780 bore with a 1.11 compression height..

Looking forward to results. I'll be doing the 84mm v3 billet on the 5.3 I'm forging. I'll retire my ls1 when I get enough parts together to start the tear down.
