Well, really the old fuel line removal was the biggest pita. Also, I had everything done with the old Edelbrock fuel pump but then read somewhere that I needed approximately 20% more fuel flow on the pump than the injectors had or the injectors wouldn't work correctly. Anyway, so that's why I upgraded the pump. Approximate costs/time are noted below.
Aeromotive A1000 (1100 hp EFI, 800 hp EFI forced ind) pump from Jegs $310.
Peterson 100 micron -8 fuel filter $130.
Jegs 100 micron -8 fuel filter $80.
-8 fuel line, 20 feet from Jegs $140 or so.
-6 fuel line, 15 feet from jegs $110 or so.
Sump from Summit $60.
Various AN fittings Jegs, Summit $200.
Sump welded in and pressure tested locally $140.
Steel for mounting plate 2 X 6"X6"X1/8" plates (had it already).
10 gauge wire for pump (haven't done this yet). $10.
So the total was approximately $1180. Makes me sick now that I added it up. Probably could have saved $200 in wasted parts and getting 2 Jegs filters instead of the Peterson filter.
Approximate time was as follows.
Tank removal and then reinstall 2 hr.s.
Finding someone to weld it 2 hrs.
Old fuel line removal 4-5 hr.s.
Cleaning frame for new fuel line 2 hr.s.
run new fuel line 1 hr.
Putting on hose ends, then taking them off, then on etc. 3 hrs.
Making fuel pump mount 4 hrs.
18-19 hr.s of actual work sounds about right, but keep in mind, I really don't know what I am doing so it takes longer.
I just hope I don't have any leaks after all of this.
