Urgent: What fuel pump for an 18R-GU?

Hey guys,
I've just put in an 18R-G motor, but it has no fuel pump. It has been modified, with shaved head, ported, polished, extractors etc... I want to put an electric fuel pump onto it, just wondering what I should go for? Should I just go down to SuperCheap and get a fuel pump for a 5L Commodore or something like that? What brand/model would be best? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is urgent, as the engine is in the car, but with no fuel pump, and I'd like to get hold of a pump tomorrow. Please help!
Cheers,
Tim

Pretty much any low-pressure fuel pump should do the job.

Like Norbie said, any low pressure fuel pump will do. All it needs to do is pump about 1.5-2 l/min. If there is no return, make sure you get a pressure regulator as well, otherwise the pressure can overwhelm the needle and seat resulting in flooding.
If you have a return, buy an old Chyrsler fuel filter with a third return outlet and measure the pressure. Progressively drill out the out the third outlet till the resultant fuel pressure is 6 psi. Cheap and easy.
