Whoops, i didn't catch that. In that case my main concern is what to use as a fuel pump. i would like to stay mechanical, but i don't know if using a rotary vane type driven by a belt is practical in this application.

Now, there is a special jig to drill a hole for the fuel pump pushrod, but it's pretty expensive and then we would have to figure out if the cam actually has a lobe to drive it. A decent machine shop may be able to drill the hole for you.
