You mean that the stock mechanical pump will feed a mildly
modified B30...

If I understand correctly, a "regular" motor uses half a
pound of fuel per unit of horsepower per hour. A B30A can
make as much as 145HP as setup from volvo which means that
the pump can deliver about 72 pounds of fuel per hour.

I would actually consider using the mechanical fuel pump
to feed a surge tank to feed an electric fuel pump to run a
fuel injection system. I think the pump is up to delivering
the volume just not the pressure.

The nice thing about the pierberg pump is that the gas
flow stops as soon as the ignition stops. A good safety
feature, if you ask me.
