Default Fuel pump options

I have Gen V 454 engines and I would like to eliminate the sea pump fuel pump. What are my options? On the dyno I just used an electric pump put one end in a gas can and hooked the other to the carb, ran 6lbs up to almost 600HP.

I now have a sea pump fuel pump feeding my Holley blue marine pump.
Thanks

Thats what I plan on doing, but what brand and model # of fuel pumps? I haven't really heard anything good about the Holley blues that I'm using, and I have already replaced them twice.

Holleys are good if you can coast to the side of the road! Aeromotives seem to last a good while. Your looking at $400 for the pump and regulator though.

Do a search on aeromotive in this forum. Aeromotive has issues as well.
