It probably would but here is another link. (http://www.kmjent.com/cart/115gph-el...-mopar-gm.html) some what cheaper than a Holley red, but similar specs. It don't give psi or gph on the other one.

I'll trail it mostly. Probably street it to college every once in a while (hour drive, not daily). If I find some rubber mounts on craigslist I may pick them up, but until then I'll run solid. I DD a 95 Wrangler 2.5L, 35's and stock gearing. Driving the truck on the road will be 10x better than what I'm used to... 4k RPM's up hills. Lmao.

Travis, did you wire your inline pump with an ignition wire so the pump would only run with the key installed. I kind of want to run a separate switch for security purposes.

you should run the fuel pump on a oil pressure switch or something similar. that way, if you get into an accident and your oil pressure drops off (due to the engine shutting off), it will kill your fuel pump. otheriwise if you run it off a keyed ignition source, get into an accident.....there is a possibility that your fuel pump will continue to run........feed a possible fire......burn a lot of stuff.

Yeah I read about that somewhere. I'll definitely look into that. Of course if it, and only it did burn... New toy!! haha

On a toggle with a keyed power feeding the toggle so it'll shut off with the ignition if you forget the toggle and you could just shut off the pump with the key on too.

hahaha. on the dodge forum i frequent, i was asking about putting an electric fuel pump on my dodge. a guy responded that a friend of his almost got burned alive because of this. he ended just losing a hand.....but serious stuff to consider. i'd say stick with a manual fuel pump if your engine accepts one. they are cheap and reliable enough. i stayed with the manual pump.

Thanks for the pictures.

We're having some major fitment issues. The transmission is positioned where the crossmember holes line up.

What tranny you running? My brother in law has a 4 speed sm465 in his yota with a 350 and the people who built it had to cut the floor way forward, cut the bottom of the dash and bent his shifter way back. We're gonna do a th350 swap later. It's parked in my driveway so I can post some pics of how his stuff is done too if you need.

Between the two trucks i can get more pics of anything that i have here. The one in my driveway he bought as is and it has some good parts, but a lot of it is not finished or they just did a crappy job on it. He is in the process of getting the parts gathered up so we can start a total tear down and rebuild.

Here are a few pics of the inside how they did the shifter. It comes out under the dash, but the truck is a 94 so the dash is gonna be a little different.







I didn't get much pics from below because it sounded like you had the crossmember lined up. His has a different crossmember made of plate and angle. It needs to be redone when we go to th350. Also they just welded his crossmember right to the frame. Here is one of the crossmember.
