It's hard to beat the SFI approved Lakewood... it runs between $309.09 and $359.95 depending on where you get it and part #..
The Lakewood SFI bellhousing comes with the "block plate" and all bolts too..
Just an option.
Good luck with the build.

I have. It's not easy to buy one for a Packard engine, or even a Pinto. But I would never make one if I could adapt one from the store.

Rich is right. My Pinto block didn't have a ready made housing, so I reconstructed a 5.0L Ford Lakewood.
BEWARE though, Cutting and welding the hydroformed structure causes some really weird distortions. Flatness and concentricity become a big issue that requires additional machining.
It is worth it though....

I know a lot of guys run Holley regs with no problems and will probably be OK for you application. If you have ever taken apart a Holley pump or reg you can see how small the passages are (I could probably urinate more flow after 3 bud lights). I have been using a Magnafuel pump and regulator and happy with the results.  I've been thinking about trying there (magnafuel) big 2500 hp fuel injection pump but I'm wondering about durability. Which pump are you using and do you have any problems with it ? |

http://www.magnafuel.com/index.htmlI have used the Quikstar 300 for 3 years with no problems. I like that the magnafuel pumps are a constant flow/pressure system with a bypass unlike Holley which is a demand pump that shuts on and off when needed. Even their fittings are larger I.D. than other AN fittings.

I know alot the fast drag cars around here are running Mangafuel pumps with no
problems. Looks like a neat setup, but you have to run a return line to the fuel cell.
