now before i get shunned my buddy just dropped at 350 gm crate motor in his k5 blazer and its not getting fuel but the pump is running and it was working when we removed the last engine (this is the 3rd) we think that it might be since it was sitting with the lines off for so long the fuel drained all the way down and figured if we top the tank off it will catch and be fine if ya got and 2sence its very much appreciated
The pump should self prime so I would have thought if there was gas covering the fuel pickup it should have been OK. If the pump runs all the time with the ign. on then either there is no gas in the tank or the plastic gears in the pump are bad.
However i am no expert and maybe someone else will chime in.

yeah we didnt mess with the tank at all we dropped the new engine in hooked up the wires and fuel lines and tryed starting it and no fuel would come from the injectors but the pump sounds like its on..... stupid chevy.....

ok that is IDENTICAL to what happened to me ( i did an injector swap) i would def drop the tank and take a look at it it doesnt take to much time and it could be a 2 dollar fix with a piece of hose but ya they are a real pita sometimes
