190 will be fine, unless your adding boost or spray.

Like he said. I ran the 190 with a blower before stroking to a 327.

I'd just go with the Walbro 255.

Here's what I always say...

You can't really get too much fuel pump unless you are talking about the $$$ expense, or possible noise. The return line takes car of extra flow/pressure.
Here are some recommendations that I worked out according to formulas I found in Four Stroke Performance Tuning by A. Graham Bell. Running at 80% of plump capacity helps ensure a long life from the pump. Hp is considered at the flywheel.

_____________________80% of Max______80% of Max

Ford EFI Options_______N/A Limit________Boost Limit
110 lph________________240 hp__________200 hp
155 lph________________340 hp__________280 hp
190 lph________________420 hp__________340 hp
255 lph________________560 hp__________460 hp

Not a major factor, but worth considering…
Also consider that a dramatically oversized pump will push large quantities of fuel through the fuel system and back via the return line. This process will add extra heat to the fuel which will lower its density. This is probably not an issue for otherwise healthy computer controlled efi motors, since the O2 sensor will help the computer to adjust the injector duration. This could however lead to increased wear on the injectors/pump/hoses of the fuel system.

190 will be more than fine if you are going to stay away from boost or nos and gives you more room to grow.
