Re: marine carb vs auto carb
Hard fuel line from pump to carb has been discussed on this board before. The consensus was rubber or metal fuel line is expectable. With a after market carb the inlet will be in a different place and most here run rubber instead of trying to make a new hard line. Another thing to consider is what cam you are running. As for the fuel pump having a outlet. I have had some that did and some that did not (all marine) as long as it is marine your all set. I don't know what you are putting it in but if you do a search here you will find rebuilds from mild to wild. Another thing to consider is if a 351W would be better. That discussion has been done also with the 351 beating the 302 hands down. If you haven't bought your parts yet you have to go to northernautoparts.com. A master rebuild kit for $199.00. That's cam, lifters, timing set, pistons, piston rings, rod/main/cam bearings, oil pump, freeze plugs and all gaskets. All name brand quality parts. You will have a hard time beating there prices. You just have to tell them to upgrade to brass freeze plugs, your cam specs and any over size pistons and bearings and you are done.
