Dear Forum,
 
.........My Google search shows that the only mechanical pump for  a
Cleveland engine is from Robb Mc Performance.  They offer two quality  
units.
One supports 1100 hp and is $300!   The other for lesser  racers supports 
550
hp and is only  $200.   

Unless there is an overlooked source or stock of unwanted and
unsold hipo  Cleveland fuel pumps out there, I will shortly be ordering a
very serious  fuel  pump.

Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
 
Chuck,
 
If you would like to consider a second option you might want to  look into 
an electric fuel pump.  Simple to install and you don't need a  huge pump 
either (no matter what anyone says).  I installed a  standard "universal" 
electric fuel pump many years ago that I purchased from  Autozone for something 
like $49.  It is compact in size (less than 2" in  diameter and 2" in 
length) but feeds plenty of fuel.  My engine dynoed at  540hp and it is run quite 
"spiritedly" and has no issues whatsoever with fuel  starvation.  Oh, the 
pump is feeding a Demon 750 double  pumper.
 
Your mileage will vary.
