Is the fuel pump eccentric built into the cam on a sbc? It has been awhile since I have looked at a sbc cam, I guess. Another way the Olds V8 is superior😁. That Vortec Crate motor is a lot nicer and more efficient motor than either the 265 or 290 motor. Other than break in, I would not be scared to run the 265 hp flat tappet model with regular oil. That is a plain old, very mild smog cam in that one.now you're talking customizations and I really want to avoid that or keep customizations really simple. So here is a motor that I could consider. It comes with a cam but I'd have to change it to account for a mechanical fuel pump. If there is an simple electrical pump I could install that will work for me. I don't want to get into in tank fuel pumps and return lines and such. No my goal for this car.
