    Get a Walbro, about $100, and a Corvette internally regulated fuel filter that regulates it to 58PSI, about $40.

    Does it matter what year the corvette is?

    One safety concern with using an electric fuel pump with an in-cab fuel tank: use a fuel pump inertia cut off switch.

    Imagine this: you been in a collision with another vehicle, you are out cold, the ignition is still in the hot position, and the cab is quickly filling with fuel. IMO the makings of a really bad day.

    I am not sure of what the part numbers are, but I'm sure someone in this forum can help you.

    Don't forget you'll have to run a return line back to the tank. you can just drill a whole just big enough for a steel line to pass through and solder or "sweat" the line in place. I'm about to do my 5.3 swap into my 65 c10 and i'm going to take the tank out of the cab and put the tank in the rear. I prefer a fuel pump in the tank, its ALOT quieter that way.

    I was thinking about what I am going to do with the return. Can I splice into the feed line with a three way or do I have to run a line directly back to the tank.

    I would think that the fuel should be returned to the tank.
