Rebuilding chevy 1993 4.3 v6 engine w/balanced shaft for marine applications. Used older 1986 Mercruiser 4.3 v6 for accessories and spare parts. Older engine had a mechanical fuel pump, newer block does not have a hole for it, I think it was the year when Chevy started engines with balanced shafts and electric fuel pumps. There are plenty of aftermarket electric fuel pumps on ebay. Some say that they are good for marine applications but do not have SAE J1171 marine standard certification. Can I still use it or should I go with a used electric pump? Also where is the best place to find a mounting bracket for this fuel pump? Or can I use just a clamp of appropriate size? Thank you
