Can anyone suggest a good oem fuel pump source (junkyard) suitable for use on a 4-6 cylinder Megasuirted engine.

Thanks

My peugeot 405 sri had an external pump that should be good for about 160bhp

1986 - 1989 Ford F150 truck or E150 van used an Airtex E2000 inline pump that should work well. Lots of them can still be found at the junk yards, but it sells new at auto parts stores for less than $100.00

I found that pump pretty cheap on a couple websites but on one it said that it had to be used in conjunction with an in-tank pump.

Anyone have any experience with this pump from Summit?

. . .

The quoted info is different on the MSD site here:http://msdignition.com/fuel_7.htm

AFAIK that is the Ford/Airtex/Carter pump with an MSD sticker. BTW the Ford pumps are used on most of the '80's CFI cars and trucks as well as early MPFI cars - not just E/F150's. Here's a partial list of users for that pump:

FORD
1986 - 1987 AEROSTAR
1985 - 1989 F-250 PICKUP
1985 - 1989 BRONCO
1985 - 1989 F-350 PICKUP
1986 - 1988 BRONCO II
1984 - 1986 LTD
1986 - 1991 E-150 ECONOLINE
1983 - 1986 MUSTANG
1986 - 1991 E-250 ECONOLINE
1985 - 1988 RANGER
1987 - 1991 E-350 ECONOLINE
1983 - 1984 THUNDERBIRD
1985 - 1989 F-150 PICKUP

LINCOLN
1983 - 1984 CONTINENTAL
1984 MARK VII

MERCURY
1983 - 1984 CAPRI
1984 - 1986 MARQUIS
1983 - 1984 COUGAR

MERKUR
1985 - 1989 XR4TI

It doesn't spec the engines because all had them - even 4 cylinder 'stangs and Rangers.

The Bosch Euro car pumps have similar spec's (Bosch is a 2nd supplier for Fords) and are found in most things Euro from the late '70's into the '90's. They usually come mounted with small surge tanks behind the rear axle.

Lots of options!

Sorry - double post demon?

Do these Ford pumps need to be used with an in-tank pump to work properly? Can they generate the pressure and flow sufficient for a high performance application without a in-tank?

From what I have read these pumps tend to push fuel better then they can pull it. So mount it as close to the fuel tank and as low as you can.

i am using an external pump from bosch...used for a 6 cylinder engine. i am running 8*220cc injectors on my car and approximately 1 bar o boos and it seems to be holding up fine. 1 think to remember is that a pump either gives you good suction or good pressure...not both.i had a pump to suck fuel from the tank and feed my bosh conctant supply...now i have a surge tank.any time the pump goes loud know that its not getting fuel and that its going to breakdown...in my case ...it took a few hours of driving...someone had mis connected the surge tank. i tried inducing a kink in the hose connecting the pump and it went loud...same as running low on fuel...its called cavitation....it even kills turbines and stuff like that
just remember to insure a constant supply of fuel to the pump...use an intank lift pump of some sort...you cant use the efi pumps to suck fuel...it might run....not for long though...

I am using the Ford van, frame rail mounted pump to feed my big block Chevy and I do not have any other pump but that one. I do use the accumulator and the large filter as well. Never had any problems.

I have that Ford/Carter pump as well mounted facing downward inline with the rear frame rail. A replacement filter for a VW Scirocco is in back of that (about 3.5" across by 5" long). I am only doing TBI right now, not sure if this pump is enough for MPI.
