Its ECU controlled and in some applications it can but these are few, as a rule of thumb, no. This is because the ECU is able to manage the fuel rail pressure which is a requirement for fuel injection, where as a mechanical pump would use a mechanical device for such a purpose but if your asking in theory, then yes it can be made to work although the modifications would not be efficient or as reliable as the computer controlled alternative. Hope this helps.

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.
