I bought it from a friend, but he got it from Vortec it is GSS 342 and was $120. I have seen it on the www for around $99.00. The only mod is to remove the fuel filter/ screen from the stock unit and use it instead as the one supplied with the pump angels up.
I have a vortec timing box and map clamp if you need it. However, it would only make sence to use if you are using a rising rate fpr

okay after several conversations with various of vendors including vortec, the Walbro fuel pump is model GCA 3366. This is a 255lph pump able to handle up to whatever could be dished out. You must specific what fuel pressure you will be running at though. Its unusual that the GSS 342 model comes up at times too. I guess they might be interchangeable to some extent.

Just to add some data (I didn't install my pump, so I can't speak to the installation problems), I've got the Holly Forced Induction Pump and it's probably undertaxed supporting 300whp with 550 injectors and a 1:1 AEM adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
Good luck,

Hiya Aus, how are you?
It's installed in the tank. Makes an obnoxious whirring noise when you turn the key and it primes the fuel system, but otherwise you'd not know it's there.

The Holly tech guys are pretty open and willing to talk, if you're willing to ante up for the phone call from NSW. I found them very helpful when I was doing the calcuations for my injectors in preparation for the AEM EMS installation.
Did I ever tell you that I rented an S2000 when I was in Queensland a few years back. After returning it at the end of a delightful weekend, I swore to myself that I'd buy one if they ever became available in the States. Returned home only to find out that they'd just been released. Despite shifting with my left hand (weird, it was), I was completely sold on the car. More proof that the Aussies have saved the earth...

That must have cost a fortune! I looked into renting an S for a drive on the Great Ocean Road in Vic and it was $385 a day.
Then again, that would have been in the days of 2:1 exchange rates I guess.
Them days are gone!
