This is going to work out very good , I have mine ready for its first fire, was going to fire it up for the very first time today but it pretty much rained all day but i did manage to get the heater hose ran and the temp and oil sending unit then got it filled up with oil,antifreeze, and fuel with some VP Racing octane booster just to be on the safe side with 11,1comp with the first fire and hopefully I won't have any fires 🤣

Hi... Couple of questions.... 1) where is your fuel tank located...? and 2) doesn't the high pressure fuel pump need to be located as close to the fuel tank as possible.... and....also as low as possible to bottom of tank...? Do you perhaps have another pump at the tank as well...? I am wanting to install a Sniper system on my Nova SS 396 V8 and everything I have seen shows either the pump being inside the tank (preferred) or very close to the tank. I really like the convenience of being able to locate the pump as you have it near the engine, if it will work. Also, I have been told that heat can be an issue with respect to pump location and that's one of the main reasons that the pump works very well inside the tank.... Thanks for your time and hopeful comments....

The fuel system uses a stock mechanical fuel pump to bring fuel to an accumulator tank up front which feeds the walbro pump for the EFI. I got the idea from a Bronco website where they use the system to allow them to do rock climbing without having starvation issues
