Yes, a small block Chevy fuel pump can fit on a big block Chevy, but it typically requires an adapter or modification. The mounting positions are similar, but the fuel pump design may differ in terms of capacity and pressure. It's important to ensure that the fuel pump provides adequate flow and pressure for the big block's fuel demands. Always check compatibility with your specific engine setup.
