My suguestion, go with a duralift.
First, read this whole thread on them: http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?24142-Carrier-Pump-Group-Buy&highlight=duralift
install, placement, and wiring are all discussed in there.
Then you'll need a Big Block Chevy pump block off plate. Available pretty much anywhere. You may end up needing to do some grinding along the top of it as some have found.
That's my two cents.

The lift pump and fuel pump are one in the same. Only one low pressure supply pump.
Then the high pressure injection pump.
Yes, it eliminates it.

We never recommend running both an electric and mechanical at the same time. Pushing fuel from an electric thru the mechanical will damage the mechancial lift pump diaphram. then you leak fuel out of the ground and usually into the oil pan. Going into the oil pan quickly dilutes the oil and ruins the engine bearings. This is the reasons not to run that way. An electric lift pump as recommended here is one of the very best modifications we can do for our engines. It saves the starter from less cranking to get fuel pressure up. It saves the batteries from long cranks because you have a fuel leak down issue too. Its not a band aid repair but a good upgrade that saves in the long run.

Is the Carrier pump and the Duralift one in the same?
I see both names thrown around but I didn't know if Carrier is just the brand for the Duralift.

Yes, they are the same pump. Carrier uses the facet duralift on their ****** units as I understand it. There is a supply of the carrier branded units we can get at a great price.
Mine works great btw.
