Default trying to find in-tank pump that will work

Well I have been calling around looking for an in tank pump for my 99 TA with heads/cam/boltons. ARE told me I would have to send in the pump assembally to get it to work. LS1 motorsports told me I would have to call ARE to see if it could be done. Thunder racing told me the largest intank that would work was a 190lph. Speed inc. put me on hold for about 4 min. so I hung up. Anybody have some helpful info for me? I know many people have done this install themselves but can not find out what has to be modified to make it work. Thanks for your help.

I replaced the intank pump in my '98 T/A with a 255 lph pump. It was labeled as a BBK for a Mustang. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I used two screw clamps to hold it in place since it's smaller than the stock unit. You'll also need about 8" of fuel injection hose to connect the pump. Also, be sure that the sock is positioned properly so that the float in the tank won't get hung on it. I found out the hard way. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I have a 255 lph walbro 340 or 340s in a 99 TA. It was also for a mustang. The one ls1 motorsports sells will work fine. You will not find one that is a direct bolt in at this point for a 99. The walbro just needs a piece of hose, a rubber shim and you have to splice into the electrical system, no big deal.
