Thank You

Re: super stock "engine mounted" fuel pump
Why? Not sure what you're trying to do, or why you want to reinvent the wheel.
Pumps do not like to "pull" a liquid, they much prefer to "push" it. The higher the demand, the great degree of difficulty and the higher the expense involved in make a pump that "pulls" work. Adding the G force of acceleration to that only makes things worse. There is a good reason 99% of all faster Stock and Super Stock cars run a rear mounted electric fuel pump such as a MagnaFuel or Aeromotive, at or behind the cell.

Re: super stock "engine mounted" fuel pump
Why introduce engine heat to the fuel system?

Re: super stock "engine mounted" fuel pump
my question comes form years of bracket racing with a BLP belt drive pump and bypass regulator.
That sure works good, low fuel pressure at low speed, full pressure at race RPM. I thought some might be running an engine mounted pump, looks like not. Out of curiosity, do we know what NASCAR engines use for fuel pump? I have seen photos of those engines with block mounted pumps.

Looking around the web and found the Nascar boys used these, until fuel injection a couple years ago.

Re: super stock "engine mounted" fuel pump
Stick with your BLP pump or go with an APD pump. A lot of weekly bracket racers still use the older edelbrock speedway pump and with alcohol. Rear cell is also not a problem for a 9-11 second car

Mannymen,
belt drive pump not allowed in super stock. If it were allowed, that would be my choice.

Re: super stock "engine mounted" fuel pump
Wheelstands make the problem of a front mounted pump even more difficult..
