Roadster fuel pump and slave cylinder/throw-out bearing recommendations

[cheverett]

Roadster kit ordered. Doing without a donor vehicle and putting in a BluePrint 427 Carbureted engine.

- Looking for recommendations on fuel pump types that have worked well. Was thinking mechanical instead of electric. Anyone using a mechanical pump that would work with this engine and does not need a regulator? Or better luck with electric pump and a regulator?

- Looks like I need to get hydraulic clutch parts - slave cylinder and throw-out bearing. Any recommendations?

Thank you for helping me get prepared!

I believe the BPE package will come with the fuel pump, but verify with them. Did you order the transmission from them? If so, it will come assembled with the clutch and TOB if you ordered a hydraulic setup.

Thank you! I will check with Blue Print on Monday.

BP needs to know if you want a mechanical pump. There are engine front covers that do not have the boss needed to mount the pump. Also there is an eccentric that needs to be installed on the crankshaft inside the front cover. I would be happy w/ any major name pump but I do like to have one that you can 'clock'. There are 6 bolts holding the pump together so you can rotate it in 60 degree increments. Some times this helps make for a better fuel line run to and from the pump and can help keep the fuel lines away from the header.

A typo, I think you meant camshaft.
