Hey guys,

I need some help. I have a 91 360 motor that im building and its an LA. The timing cover has the stamping and one of the holes for the mechanical fuel pump, but because it was a fuel injected motor its obviously not using a mechanical pump. I wanted to reuse my stock carter mechanical pump and I was wondering what I would have to do to run it besides punshing out the hole for the fuel pump arm, drilling and tapping the other pump hole, and getting a fuel pump eccentric. Do i need a longer cam snout? Will this 91 timing cover (timing marks on driver side) work with standard LA balancers and mechanical fuel pumps?

just want to make sure before i assume anything

thanks!

hughes make a snout for the magnum cams to run mechanical fuel pump...

ok...just buy a LA cam....and get the fuel pump eccentric

the 91 may or may not have the long nose cam

you could just swap on an older t-cover to save time and work

if you go aftermarket cam,get a long nose cam and run stock ecentric and mech pump

I orderd up a lunati VooDoo roller for mine and got the long nose for mech FP

the 91 should also have oil thru lifters and hollow PR and still oil thru the block/heads to rockers(mine did)

so its oiling both ways with no problems(stock engine did also)

thats 1/2 way to a magnum head swap(oil thru lifters/hollow PRs) for a pre-mag hybred later on

the timing cover even though from a 91 appears to be the same as the earlier LA engines as well with the pointers on the drive side.

When I order the cam I will order a long snout LA to use with a fuel pump eccentric. Im assuming that If i ever go electric pump i can still use the long snout cam and not have any problems?

thanks for the help guys

why not just get it over and go electric now?
