Hiya BJ, I had the same problem. I have a 302W 1987 block which had the reverse rotation (serpentine belt) pump. Blu$$y heavy cast iron pump which had a puny little pressed steel impellor.

I changed the timing chain cover to a SVO M-6059-D351 which has provision for a mechanical fuel pump (I blanked that off) and a front dip stick hole. ( can blank that off too if you prefer the side dip stick.)

On front of that I used the SVO M-8501-F351 standard rotation alum. pump which has the CNC machined impellor which does not cavitate as much as the pressed ones. Also uses ball/rollor bearing for the shaft.

This pump is said to provide max flow & pressure with equal distribution to both banks.

Dont be talked into any of the so called race pumps as they flow low volume at street revs.

Hope that helps

Cheers
