Maybe for a 350 Chevy, but not for an FE.

The Edelbrock pump is the largest mechanical fuel pump for an FE and it's rated to support "up to 600 hp". RobbMc used to make some bigger mechanical fuel pumps but you had to grind on the pump and also on the engine block to make it fit.

This isn't a constant WOT race engine but I still don't like taking chances with fuel flow with higher horsepower engines. There are several other benefits to an electric pump.
