Walbro 450... you'll have to hack up your bucket. And the pressure regulator will probably be overwhelmed. But the 450 was designed for E85 and would flow enough for whatever you want until you get into FI.

Also I'd swap your fuel lines to PTFE so they are not destroyed by the ethanol.

I agree that the Walbro 450 would be best, but there are several other options out there that can be used that fit better, in the 340 lph variety. You wont have to hack up your bucket, but there is a trade off. These were not designed to be E85 pumps though, and will have reduced life on E85. The some vendors are stating they can be used with E85 though. AEM, Deatschwerks, etc. They are however easier to package because they don't have the bell on the bottom. Other vendors are selling basically the same 340 lph pump and are not recommending it for E85 though. Most of these pumps, although they have many different names on them are all coming from the same couple manufacturers, but are made to slightly different specifications as requested by the company who's name is on the pump.
