The pictures posted of the Fore Hat were of my car. I got these pumps when they were 1st available and tried to make it fit in the Fore Hat .
The one thing that makes it difficult is the design of the socks on the 11142 Aeromotive pumps. It makes fitting them in the tank very difficult.
Now for the Bad News.
When trying to fit them I broke the fittings on two pumps they would not go in easily so I left the pumps without socks. Only the 11140 Center inlet pump sock works the best .
Went to the track and On the 2nd pass both pumps without socks seized up . I believe they over heated . I spoke to a friend of mine with a 1200 hp Supra, and he said that the sock keeps the fuel from air rating b/c of the turbine. They had similar problems with Walbro's and burned up 5 pumps.
So its very important to keep the socks on.
It seems to Me that maybe the Aeromotive 340 11140's will work best because of the sock design is similar to Walbro's .
Ive already made another change , Im ordering 3 DW300 pumps because of there waranty and 100% claim on E85 , but Im getting 3 Walbro replacement socks which will attach to the DW300 pumps . This way there is no difference in the way they fit on the Hat.
For those that dont know and are saying they are fatter and wont fit , the pumps are identical.
