Hey guys,

I used the search function and many are running the fuel pump inside the tank, but wanted to see if this set up is okay to run.

otor is a Procharged 406 small block with Holley Stealth Ram, FAST EFI, 75 lb injectors, and about 750hp.

A1000 fuel pump mounted externally
new stock fuel tank with baffling installed and a return line


I think this is going to work, although not as awesome as Rick's Stainless or a Rock Valley tank, but it should be fine right?

thanks in advance

Hope this helps.

Yes, that does help. Thank you.

I guess I am wondering why many mount the pump internally. Is it for primarily for noise control?

Also, if something goes wrong with the pump isn't it a pain to get at it if it's internal?

Noise control and longevity. They run cooler in-tank due to the fuel. They can be a pain to access internally ... unless you fashion an access panel or removable cover.
