[QUOTE="old man dave, post: 1484574, member: 1009"] I used the original Bean's fuel setup and was happy with it. It used Stanadyne FM-100 bases and filters. The present kit appears to use possibly NAPA FM-100 style bases along with Wix/NAPA filters. It mounts just forward of the side fuel tank. The kit is more than parts in a box. The filter bases and fuel pump mount on a flat piece of aluminum plate that mounts on a section of C-channel spacer that fits between the frame rails. The fuel pump is mounted with a machined aluminum clamp between the filter bases. The plate is mounted by two bolts to the frame. Beans used to sell a piggy-back bracket to mount dual pumps. Only fabbing that needs to be done is making a bracket for the fuel pressure regulator. I just made a tab bracket off of the HPO reservoir to mount the regulator. The kit reuses the original fuel return lines and they are run to the new regulator. Also, it appears the kit still uses a modded fuel rail plug for drivers side head. Its more than just parts in a box, the mounting plate is well made along with the machined fuel pump clamp. Every thing needed is in the package except some HD nylon wire ties to mount the hose and wiring. The instructions were just a little vague but that may be fixed by now. If ground clearance is an issue, Stanadyne makes a short filter cartridge in the FM100 filter series. They come in 4", 6" and 8" lengths, the ones pictured on Beans website are the 6" ones. I think the 4" ones would be almost flush (or less) with the frame rails. The filters come in a full range of filtration form 150 microns to 2 microns. Wix/NAPA makes the FM100s in the 6" lengths. It would not be hard to make a mini bash plate for the fuel system. Changes I made to the kit was using all SS hose and fittings, adding a second modded fuel rail plug to the pass enger side, stainless steel tubing to get rid of the loops of rubber hose on the filter/pump assembly, and a bypass switch so I could operate the pump without the engine running. That made it easy to adjust the fuel pressure and purge air out of the fuel system. Beans uses a pushlock hose fitting for the AN-6 head connection. All AN tubing sweep bends are too long and hit the firewall except for just one close bend Aeroquip Swivelok fitting that is available in steel and aluminum. I suggest the steel fitting since the aluminum fitting tend to collapse when tightening up (ask me how I know!) even if the steel is $35 instead of $10. Got mine from Summit Racing special order and 3-4 weeks backorder time. Kit had no problem feeding my truck at about 430hp. My kit came with an Airtex SD replacement. The current system comes with a Bosch -044 pump that (according to Beans and others) will support over 500hp. I think the Bosch pump fits a SD mounting clamp. I liked it! I'm using it as a pattern for making my next fuel system. Old kit is now in buddy's truck still running well. [/QUOTE]
