Thanks for the comments guys.
Next week I'll get the stainless lines done (so it won't look like home plumbing), get the bodies cleaned and painted and send the bits and pieces out for nickel plating. I'm using 1/2" ss lines to plumb it and this may be overkill (3/8" would probably do) but I figured a little more volume to my 2 -4bbl manifold won't hurt.
These electric pumps put out 30 gph and 5 - 9 psi each (the original SW pumps put out 60 gpm and 8psiadjustable down to 4psi), so they should be adequate for performance driving but maybe not enough for any all out competition.
Although when the racing Shelby Cobras had two in the trunk, only one was used at a time. One used when racing on a full tank and the second switched on when the tank was low to catch the fuel as it sloshed around.
I'll be using a regulator and return fuel line and I'm drawing from the tank througha Russell billet in line fuel filter (40 micron).

Back to the workbench.
