Default Truck motor in a fox with car manifold

So have a 5.3 in my fox with a cowl hood and DBW. HOOD WILL NOT CLOSE!

Anyways here's what I wanna do, looking to see if this will work using the DBW TB I already have

98 water pump with dirty dingo water pump spacers, car manifold
Dirty Dino alternator relocation kit. Otherwise keep all other truck accessories.

My fuel system is already hooked up using the stock fuel pressure regulator on the stock truck fuel lines, what is the easiest and cheapest way to plumb the fuel system for the car fuel rails and car injectors?

Pix first is not my motor just the set up I wish I could afford right now, other 2 are mine

Unless u already have an fbody pump, To save money you could run an 08+ 5.3/6.0vvt pump. The water neck is angled totally different and allows you to run the car style manifold/tb's. As for easiest way to run the fuel lines/injectors, run two lines(feed and return) from the tank/pump to either a corvette fpr or bypass style regulator and the run the on Line from the fpr to the car style rail. Proper quick disconect adapters are needed of course.

Is there anyone who has used my TB and the car manifold with this vvt water pump, can I see a pic by chance. This would greatly help me out.

If you want I can take pics at the shop tomorrow I'm using a cable tb but have extra dbw tbs laying around from customer builds, I can through one on for you. It's got plenty of clearance though.

That would be awesome. Would greatly appreciate it.

For my fuel issue here's what I was thinking.

I have the russel quick connect fitting for the factory mustang lines under the hood, then high pressure fuel line to the quick connects on the truck fuel rails.

What fittings will I need that attach to the corvette fuel filter/regulator combo
That I can just use these lines on?

I got pics but can figure out how to load them up from my phone I'll post them up when I get home, with your fuel system run the two lines youve already made to a efi bypass style fpr(or corvette fpr, I can tell you aeromotive part#'s if needed) and attach the feed in and return to the proper locations. Then run the one feed out to the rail and attach with one quick disconect fitting(reuse one you have).

For an adjustable regulator go with part number 13129 or on summitracing AEI-13129. or if you want a fixed fuel pressure get the corvette fpr and adapter kit from speed inc.

As my set up sits right now it does not clear the hood, I need to know a specific water pump that clears car I take manifold with my year dbw.

And I don't even know what year my tb is from. Can someone show me a pic of what I'm looking for?
