Yes, but it would be a special high pressure electric pump. FI requires much more pressure than non-FI engines. Automotive speed shops usually carry these pumps. High pressure fuel line rated for fuel injection pressures are also necessary.

In-tank fuel pumps for FI are preferable since that deadens the noise from the pump and also keeps it cooler and is less likely to cavitate.

Can you use a mechanical fuel pump on a 93 Chevy 350?

If you are running the fuel injection....absolutely not. No mechanical pump will provide the fuel pressure needed to run it. I don't even know if the 93 still has the mechanical fuel pump mount. Even if it did, the camshaft wouldn't have the fuel pump eccentric to run the pump.

There is no fuel injection pump the fuel pressure going to the injectors should be about 60 PSI then the injector does the rest. There is a high pressure oil pump which provides high pressure oil to the injectors however a switch monitors that and if it is low the engine will not crank or run.

Why would a 98 Suburban K1500 not be getting any fuel to the carb or the fuel filter?

I think your car has fuel injection and the fuel pump isn't working. Listen at the fuel filler and when you turn the ignition on the pump should run for 2 seconds. If not check the relay first then the pump. They are known for bad fuel pumps.
