Oh I ain't spending $700 or a large fraction thereof for the solution. Regardless of if it's in stock or not.

I have a much cheaper solution, it's been posted a few times but one more time

You'd remove the stock sock off the stock pickup tube and plumb these pickups to it. I used an external pump for my changeover, cause that's what Holley put in the kit.

The surge tank that RobbMC sells is a lot cheaper solution and should solve the same problem.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I did with some scrap tubing and welding. Don't think it cost more than about 10% of what Robb wants for his fancy one.

Got two EFI threads going on this, lol. No, I used an inline pump back then.

Summit has a variety of them from 140-700, depending on size, configuration and # of fuel pickups.

If I run into problems I would get some of those corner pickups and add a scavenge pump to feed the surge tank.
