My next question is, can I put a fuel pump on it so I don't have to use a pressure tank on it?

You certainly can. I have an identical motor that i converted a couple of years ago......runs like a champ!

edit: yours is a 10 but the conversion is the same!

It's ALIVE!!!! Beautiful!!!! She looks and sounds great. I love that OMC burble. The reverse, two-tone paint jobs on the '58 models is my favorite too. +1 on the fuel pump conversion. It's not too hard, and well worth the effort. You'll be able to use a regular fuel tank and modern fittings. Here are some handy links.
