Do you have a surge tank? From what I know, EFI fuel pumps REALLY don't like running dry, they use the fuel as coolant.
They fail if this happens too many times.

External V8 commodore? VL walkinshaw? That'd be the only V8 I can think of with EFI and an external pump...

Also, what's your pickup like? Are you trying to suck fuel up over the top of the tank? If so, that's likely where the pumps are going... especially if you're sucking it through the tiny little tube that's there factory...

If your car's an AE82 (like the pic), then I'd highly suggest you use the factory EFI tank and stuff a bit bigger pump in there, and it should last forever.
