> [@IROC](#): > > I’ve heard running it like that can burn out the pump If its out of gas yes. I remember reading something about how fuel pumps are more prone to fail for those people who run their gastanks dry before filling up. Cause the gas helps cool the pump and when your shits on E the pump is exposed and not getting as much cooling. I don’t know how valid it is, but it sorta makes sense. ---

Heads, intake, and inferior m-62. and the 3.3L is a tall deck block that wont fit under the hood of the FWD W-bodies and would require intake spacers. A Series II 3.8L is far superior in head flow, reciprocating geometry, and Gen 3 M-90 blower. > [@IROC](#): > > I’ve heard running it like that can burn out the pump If you only do it a few times its ok its the people who run to E and then only put a 1/4 tank in until you’re at E again that will burn out pumps. We all did it in HS. lol Fuel cools and lubricates the pump so if its dry excessive wear will occur. ---

some do and some dont, like my car and slohawks the pump is always cooled due to it being always submerged up until there is no fuel at all, well atleast the 99-02 tanks were like that ---

I know the series 2 requires a head swap because there are no injectors in the intake but in the heads on the supercharged version. I think there is a reason why they recomend a heads swap. I think the valves and valve springs are stronger. some of the older engines used 2 peice valves that can leave a valve head implanted in a piston. ---
