    Newbie Swap Question

    Hello forum members I am doing a 5.3 swap on my 95 OBS single cab. I have read many threads and seemingly there are different opinions related to Fuel pump. I plan to switch my pump out and was wondering which of is better pump the Walbro or this Edelbrock pump, if the edlebrock will work for this application. If you have any additional feedback for better pumps direct fit kits that would be great as well. Also will I need the corvette filter/regulator for my application. Thanks in advance.

    Not sure where my question disappeared too, but my question was related to my swap on my 95 OBS truck. I am swapping out soon for a 5.3 I purchased and basically I wanted to know which fuel pump was better the walbro or the edelbrock pump listed below or are they both sufficient. Also if I do this intank pump swap will I still need the corvette regulator/fuel filter? Thanks in advance! I plan for my swap to be a simple streetable truck with a bit more power than the old 350. Setup is 5.3 swap with texas speed cam 220/220 to include valve springs upgrade, Schoenfield headers, stock gears, stall maybe 3000 no more than 3200 depending on what feedback I receive on what would work best with the cam.

    My Swap Question that never appeared

    The question was related to intank fuel pump. Is there a preference of walbro over the edelbrock pump listed below for my 95 OBS 5.3 swap. Also do I have to run the corvette style regulator and filter for my setup? Thanks in advance not sure where my post are vanishing to. Also I plan for this to be street friendly truck with a bit more power than the 350. Plan is 5.3 swap with texas performance 220/220 cam and valve springs, schoenfield headers, ac, stock gears, freshened up 4l60 with maybe a 3000 or 3200 stall depending on which will work best with my cam setup. Any feedback is greatly appreciated and welcomed.
