No need to apologise for a user name, young man, they seem to be silly almost by definition! I use Lankybloke on the Classic Corvette Club site, which I thought was both descriptive, for I am both, and gently amusing too. Mrs Lankybloke, however, had firm opinions so I migrated to an equally descriptive but automotive-based one here, hence Green411.
Lots of very useful stuff in Thors post - many thanks. And I imagine that in the cold, pitiless light of a dyno test your 5.0L Rovers are going to make more hp than the '60s technology of a Mopar 383? But less torque?
Re your note on swirl pots and how you do stuff:
Could the stock chrysler mechanical pump act as the lift pump?
What volume of fuel tends to be returned to the main tank with Snipers?
I appreciate all cars are different, but where do you tend to locate the swirl pot, the HP pump and the lift pump?
I'm wary of the noise level from the Holley pump - with Snipers what HP pump do you use? How noisy is it?
I've been looking at the swirl pot/submersed pump combos from the USA, such as FiTech

Re Transmissions, it occured to me (ie my knowledgeable mate thought that) if Ultrabell and the various adaptor manufacturers (eg JVX Racing) make stuff to fit any USA trans to any USA engine then it would be simpler in some ways to get a more widely-available GM TH700r4 - 4 speed o/d, plentiful and relatively cheap, not electronially controlled, and provided the tv cable is adjusted correctly they seem reliable. My Corvette has the later electronically controlled version of the 700r4, the 4L60E, and that's a cracking transmission. I know it's 'un-Chrysler' and thus await torrents of abuse (or what I imagine is the Bristol owners equivalent, such as a raised eyebrow...), but it seems worth a thought if nothing else....
