Fuel Tank using Holley In Tank Fuel Pump

[bbvalve]

Certainly appreciate all the help I've found on this forum. Its awesome !
But I've come to a snag in my roadster build. I have the 347 Blue Print motor and they sent me the Holley "IN" tank fuel pump which requires me to open the hole in the tank 3-1/4". If I put it in the existing location the bottom pump pad will hill the internal wall of the tray. I can move it to where the vent hole is but that's pretty far forward and not sure Id have access to the pump when the trunk is all in place. Just wondering if anyone has tried to "offset" the pump in the original fuel pump entry so that the bottom pad fits centered in the bottom well? Thanks for any help on this.

Blueprint sent you the wrong one. They make one specific to the FFR/Ford tank.

You might need to enlarge the access hole as well. I found that my fuel lines would be very hard to access through the existing trunk opening and make it larger and made a new access cover w/ scrap aluminum.

This is the one Mike Forte sold me for my 302. Like Mike Everson said, designed specifically for the FFR/Ford tank.

yes on the larger hole, have the hole saw ready for that. That's a good suggestion on the access, thanks.

I tried calling BPE and they told me to use the retrofit one they sent me. Easy for them to say. I may have to go back and push them to send me the correct one for my tank. Thanks for the link.

I used the one linked above with no modification to the tank.
