in case you haven't gotten any advice yet[i don't play on the computer much]-i did the 5.0 swap on my 87 t-bird turbo coupe- as for fuel pump i wired in at the safety relay which on the bird is pink and gray wires.a lot simplier than changing tank sending unit,timing cover, lines etc.for ignition you could ****** a duraspark11 system out of an older truck-mid 70's to early 80's or-- even simplier i took a points distributer and put a module to replace the points[pertronics i think the brand]. a lot of people disagree with me, but personally i prefer to tell the engine what to do-not a computer running the show-just too old fashioned i guess. good luck!

Get a fuel pump for an 85-86 F-250 with a 460. It's a low pressure pump since the 460's were still running carbs. I think the 460 was still carbed in 87 too, so that might work as well.

You can also get a fuel pump for an 85 F150 with a 351. That will work as well.
