will the stock (new) fuel pump in my 1985 2.8 6 cyl work for my 3800SC swap ? or do I have to replace it with something else ? What does the fuel pressure need to be for the 3800SC ? It's an absolutely Bone Stock engine with Automatic that will be a daily driver (Not Race) Thanks

I'm going to say no, not enough flow in that pump for even a stock L67, you not only have to think about the Fuel required by the more powerful motor, but the L67 runs at more static fuel pressure than the stock fiero and Newton's law is in full effect (A force in motion, will stay in motion until an equal and opposite... bla bla bla you get it) for every PSI of boost in the intake manifold you'll need an equal amount of fuel pressure on the rail side just to maintain the static fuel pressure in the rail.


Edit: as far as I know the L67's fuel pressure spec is 48-55psi

1986 SE 3800SC/4t65eHD (12.871@104.96) I'll Sell it if you like
1985 GT 3800SC (swap in progress)

I used a slightly overkill Aeromotive 340lph intank pump (planing on E85) but AEM makes a more affordable 300LPH unit (about $120) Detachwerks is solid as well and around $110 all of those are are E85 ready. I'm not sure the part # but there is an over the counter GM replacement pump I'm sure someone will chime in. I think it's under $80 and for a 3rd gen TPI Camaro

ac delco ep381 for a 5.7L Tahoe

But I think I would recommend the Deatchworks DW200 or DW300 I've installed them in customers cars, the price is right and they do what they advertise.

I am using a DeatschWerks 200 for a stock 3800 SC Series II (255 lph) and some people are using the DW 300 (320 lph) for a higher horsepower application.

I'm using an aeromotive pump as well. Do some research on the AC Declo and DW pumps. You have several options that all fit the factory hanger.
