I talked with Gary @ Mezieres, he says that it would need all the f-body or vette accessories to work. Im not going through that much trouble for +10hp. Ill just get e-fan setup and that will be enough. Its not my daily driver, in fact it doesnt drive at all other than me crazy cuz its broke in my garage!
I dont know if you can get 10hp from efans thats such a hot debate ...ive seen some articles that have dynos that really dont show any gains above 3k rpm with e fans...get an underdrive pully these seem to be more cosistant with actual gains

Even if you don't gain the supposed 10hp from efans they clean up the engine bay a ton which is well worth the $100 or so IMO.

also planning on running mine with the new setup . i had some nice billet spacers made to get the pump out a bit and line up with the belt just have to run some longer bolts along with two gaskets per side.
mine wont be a DD but will be a weekend destroyer.

I have 2 Silverados(99 and 09) with Meziere. The 99 is a DD and has seen 8 years and 90K on the clock. The 09 has only 3k. The pump is expensive so be ready to gag when you pay for it. Never had a problem. On the 99 I triggered a relay off of the fuel pump relay trigger wire(coil side). On the 09 you have to get creative because there is no fuel pump relay(uses a fuel module mounted back by the spare tire). I triggered off the a spare fuse called Misc. Acc. If you have the money buy it.

Forgot to mention you'll need a fixed idler pulley from an F body or Corvette. The stock pulley diameter is too large once the electric pump is installed(belt would rub against itself).
