On your 283, it would also be possible to disable the mechanical pump by removing the pushrod between the camshaft and the pump, and install a small electric pump under the cab to push fuel through the mechanical pump. One of the small pumps that resembles a fuel filter with a couple of wires attached will provide the right pressure and volume, and it can be hidden near the fuel tank outlet out of sight of the casual observer. Just be sure to wire the pump through an oil pressure sensing switch to avoid flooding in case of an engine stall.
