Uh, I think it is, you just prolly don't need those lines get an aftermarket fuel filter (remote mount like Racor) just buy the spacer and the pump, spend less on those, bypass all the stock filter and the fuel heater if its not really needed, its what I'm doing, but I'm in South Texas and winters aren't much here. Remember the electric fuel pumps would be whining the whole time you have the engine on, it seems to me it would get real old.

Just a get a ppump lp, fp regulator for like 15psi tops, some fittings, two pump to block gaskets, make a dpacer just like the gasket I think it's 5/16 thickness and make the lines. then the factory line off the lp cut it n slip a 3/8 hose over it double hose clamp it n call her a day. took me 2 hours on my VE.

Like the man said, you'll hear it even if its a holley black or blue pump....but when the music starts, all is fine!
Now then, theres something about filling my crankcase is diesel that rubs me the wrong way, so I always block off the Mech. pump, run a good electric, wired into the Hobbs switch plumbed into theoil system just below the stock oil pressure sending unit.
That way if you ever loose oil pressure, your fuel is cut off.
Best to have plenty of pressure though....its hard on the IP if you don't.....
