373 stroker fuel pump recommendations

IMHO toss the mech pump. get a Carter electrical pump. by the gas tank, with filter next to it. and rig a oil shut off , with a start up over ride, so you have fuel in the carb before you crank it. why in the back? if the pump or filter leek the fire danger is not at the engine. course you do carry a extinguisher in your car? UH?
