Performer Series Mechanical Fuel Pump - Replaces Edelbrock 1722 For Big Block Chevy 396-502 V8 Engines

Car guys and gals, if you're building or maintaining a Big Block Chevy, this Performer Series mechanical fuel pump deserves your attention.

This thing is a direct replacement for the Edelbrock 1722 and it's built to handle some serious horsepower.

Let's talk about what this pump can do.

We're looking at 6 PSI fuel pressure and a flow capacity of 110 gallons per hour (that's 416 liters per hour for you metric folks).

This kind of performance can support engines up to 600 horsepower - so unless you're running a full-blown race engine, this pump has you covered.

The fitment is specific to Big Block Chevrolet V8 engines: 396 (6.6L), 402 (6.6L), 427 (7.0L), 454 (7.4L), and even the massive 502 (8.2L).

If you've got one of these classic American powerplants in your ride, this pump will bolt right up.

Construction features include a hi-volume design with 0.375 inch NPT inlet and outlet ports.

The six-valve design ensures consistent fuel delivery and reliable performance across your engine's RPM range.

This isn't some cheap parts store pump that'll fail when you need it most.

Why choose a mechanical fuel pump over electric?

For street-driven classic cars and hot rods, mechanical pumps offer simplicity and reliability.

No wiring, no relays, no fuss - just solid mechanical operation that works as long as your engine is turning.

Installation is straightforward if you're familiar with working on engines.

You'll need to time the pump eccentric correctly, but otherwise it's a bolt-on affair.

The quality is evident when you get your hands on it - good casting, proper machining, and everything lines up like it should.

Whether you're refreshing an original engine, building a street machine, or just need a reliable replacement for your aging fuel pump, this Performer Series unit delivers the performance and durability you need.

Keep that big block fed with plenty of fuel and watch it run strong!
