This is exactly the type of old-school-meets-new-school technology we really dig. This high-volume, billet-aluminum fuel pump and regulator from Race Pumps features a variable-displacement design, which adjusts output based on demand for fuel as opposed to pumping and bypassing excess. The Race Pump can support up to 2,000 hp, but unlike electric fuel pumps, this cam-driven deal is mounted in the same manner as a mechanical fuel pump: attached to the side of the engine block. We're using an EFI version of this setup on an upcoming engine project. We'll keep you posted on how it works.
We encountered this stainless steel, "pump on a stick," stock-style fuel pump holder at WFCX. Fox Body Fuel Injection makes this trick piece that features AN -6 fittings (AN -8 also available) for high-pressure fuel feed and return lines. The unit mounts inside the stock gas tank of '79-'97 Mustangs and can hold a Walbro 255-lph or similar fuel pump.
An easy-to-install, locking, hatch- or trunk-mounted aluminum fuel-tank access door is included and allows easy access to the pump without having to drop the tank. Company owner Kevin Konstant has also developed a 17-gallon bolt-in aluminum replacement tank for Fox 'Stangs that includes a high-volume, internal electric pump (Walbro 255-lph or Bosch 044), and tank-mounted AN -10 and AN -8 outlet ports. It's configured to allow ample clearance for tailpipes.
This 1,100hp-capable (with power adder), return-style fuel setup by Aeromotive is the landmark, all-inclusive fuel system for EFI 5.0 Mustangs ('83-'95), inspired by our own Editor Turner in 2000. The fuel system features a sumped fuel tank, A1000 fuel pump, bypass regulator, micron filters, 5.0 Street Rail kit, Y-block, and all the braided lines, hose ends, fittings, couplers, wiring, and hardware required for do-it-yourself, bolt-in installation.
The crew at Anderson Ford Motorsport has a couple of fuel pump solutions for augmenting your existing system or completely revamping it. The bolt-on solution is the AFM Big Pump, which installs between the factory fuel pumps and filter. The Big Pump (PN AF-6286 for '86-'93 Mustangs; PN AF-6294 for '94-'98 Mustangs; $288) is said to deliver 61 gph at 60 psi when supported by a 255-lph in-tank pump.
More than doubling that output is the AFM/Mallory '86-'93 5.0 Fuel Starter Kit (PN PK 160-60; $1,120), said to pump out 160 gph at 60 psi. This system includes the Mallory pumps, a regulator, fuel rails, a Y-block, and all the needed Russell ProClassic lines and fittings.
