fuel pump problems

I'm stuck! I've just swapped the engine on my track car - cracked head on the original. The new engine ran fine in the donor car and the original engine ran but the new engine won't run in the car, the only problem I can find is the fuel pump isn't priming. I've tried the following but have the same...

if you want to use up old tyres then 'grip' tyre softener can be pretty effective in softening them up, illegal for racing though

I'd always stick with 15 inch (bbs) rims as the tyres are as cheap as chips, especially 195 50's

I've a 325i track - you've made good choice, a cage is always nice but probably not essential for track days, definately go for a bolt in not a weld in, a mate went weld in for his m3 and it is a huge job and definitely one for a pofessional welder I'm after a cage myself the options I've looked at ...
