Fuel pump 427ci BigBlock, which NPT?
Hey!
Need to replace the fuelpump of my L36 427ci. I can choose 1/4" or 3/8" for in- and outlet.
Do anybody know the stock size?
And are 8 psi and 110 gph too much for a 489ci stroker?

Thank you!
About the fuel pump. Stock gph is about 30. I have a 489ci stroker and need a pump with more gph. The aftermarket are also available with 80gph and 6 psi. I think the 80 gph are enough. So would the 6 psi be better for the Q-jet?

No problem.
As for GPH, don't get me wrong, most of us, myself included tend to go overboard on fuel system.
While your 489 is probably a bit thirstier than my 454, Id be willing to bet 80 gph would feed it. 6 psi "should" be ok with a quadrajet.
I have a feeling you are looking at the edelbrock. Check out this video and you will see that is the better choice.
