Blew my 4 Cyl last weekend - But I had a donor 302 car. So far I have the engine/trans in, and most of the wiring. I was wondering if the 4 Cyl fuel pump will work with the V8? I've read certain places it will, and others it won't? Anyone know for sure?

Thanks, What about the fuel lines? Just extend the 4 Cyl ones or replace them completely?

They are routed differently. They may be too close to the pass side exhaust when you put it in.

If you have a doner car...just replace them. Less headaches in the long run

+1 took me about 30-45mins to pull from a donor car and install on my old 4cyl conversion car. just switch them out and be done with it.
