Your cummins will have a diaphram style lift pump on the LH side of the block below the tappet cover about 6-8" from the rear of the block. Run at least 5/16" fuel line from the tank to the lift pump. I usually do 3/8". You will have to run a return line as well. 5/16" will be fine there.

So that pump pretty much acts like the manual fuel pump on a 350? That is good news if it works. Everything was said to work but I will see once I get it cleaned up and installed. I was looking at doing an Air Dog or FASS fuel system like my 06 Dodge had. But if I can use the stock lift pump I will do that.

Yep, honestly an AirDog or Fass on a VE is a waste unless you have a 14mm head on your IP. Don't get me wrong the added filtration is nice, but you could add another filter in your line too. My VE engine makes a good 300hp on a stock lift pump. Save that money and put it into a better clutch or a better turbo. If you need some help with parts let me know. I can get you just about anything you want.

Well thats good to hear. Save me a little money. I don't plan to put a ton of power into the truck right away. Over time I will add parts to the engine.
