The original motor was a 283 small block V-8. My question is, the original fuel pump is of the mechanical type it's mounted on the side of the 283 motor. Now that I'm putting in the ZZ-3 crate motor, is there a electric fuel pump that I use or what!! Help!!!

I think I love you.......
That said, an electric pump is the way to go.
Much better performance with it.
What does it run? Have you tested it down the track??

since you are using a blue-printer crate motor,,, NICE by the way,, You should go to an electric fuel pump... also, depending on the carb you install, balance it out with the proper fuel pressure and output rate of the fuel pump... my 2 cents... O

You can buy an electric one at any auto parts store. However, I have never seen a Chevy mechanical type fail.

NAPA has a good selection of inline fuel pumps. They will fit you with the one you need.

I had one about 7 years ago, I had a hard time finding parts. My brother in NJ told me to call Musclecar specialists. Their web site is www.p-s-t.com. Good luck. I was looking for a carburater, mine was cracked
