ouch Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I am doing a LS 427 stroker swap and don't see any good place to mount my external holley blue pump.I have QA1 sway bar that limits room between tank and rear and sides look to close to exhaust. If you have pics that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Is that LS going to be EFI, or carbureted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I was hoping you were going to say EFI, then I would have suggested an internal fuel tank pump. Maybe somewhere along the passenger side frame rail, ahead of the tire. That's where I recall mounting a Holley Blue pump years ago on my old 72 Monte. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks71 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Not familiar with that pump but does it predominantly pull or push fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want it low, and closer to the fuel tank typically. Realistically, you could still probably find an in-tank unit, with lower pressure and use that for the carb application. I've never had real good luck with longevity on those holley external pumps. They make a rebuild kit for the lower pump body (at least they used to). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Yes it's now mounted passanger side frame rail next to exhaust. It's flush with the bottom of tank. I will make a small heat shield to keep the pump motor from exhaust heat. Since I have new sending unit and pump I did not want to spend more money on new tank with pump. Tank looks like $700 plus to support 625 HP. If I can't use what I bought then I'll begrudginly spend it. So far so good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
