IF I RUN THE GRANATELLI MAFS WITH 24 LB INJECTORS, WHAT LPH FUEL PUMP SHOULD I USE TO KEEP FROM FUEL STARVATION ON MY 89 GT CONVERTABLE.
ALSO ARE THERE ANY COOKIE CUTTER BUILD SHEETS FOR A 350 HP 5.0 THAT I COULD JUST FOLLOW WITH OUT A COMPLETE REBUILD.

You can get by with the stock pump and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator DEPENDING on what else is done to the car.
BTW, turn off the caps......

350 hp without a rebuild....it could probably be done. I think TFS claims that their Track Heat kit will produce around that much hp. Off the top of my head that's the best that I can come up with. The kit comes with Heads/Cam/Intake/valve covers/timing chain/rockers/pushrods/valvecovers and gaskets. Its a good deal actually.

Oops I didn't say anything about a pump. If you plan to get a fuel pump, at least a bigger in tank pump, there is no sense in getting anything other than a 255lph pump. All the Fox Mustangs, and most efi cars, have a fuel return line so really there is no such thing as too big of a fuel pump.
