No. My old engine was injected.
My HP500 is carburated and came with a fuel pump mounted on the seawater pump.
If the HP500 you are getting is injected, that's a whole other animal. I don't know how the pumps are setup on those, but if it's anything like my old 7.4MPI, the pump will already be on the engine somewhere...Just hook up the fuel line and go...

I spoke with Bob yesterday, and he mentioned you! It sounds like you are getting ready for some serious fun! I heard about the deal you might be getting. I sure wish I were you. I paid a lot more for mine, but after I was done, it came out OK.
Here's a picture of mine when it was ready to drop in...
There are reasons that this looks a little different than a standard HP500 carb...

I need to call Bob, I already sent MadMax the money for the motor. I will have him ship it to full throttle. I just bought a ZO6 vette yesterday but the car is in st louis. I will be picking it up on christmas eve. Then back to san antonio on christmas day. I will probably have my boat and motor w/bob early january. Whats strange about that pic?
