for $5!!!??? you need to crate the motor up and ship it to me for $10;D you will double your money...

did you get the wiring harness and ecm? i installed an inline fuel pump and ran another line back to my stock tank for the return. it really isn't that big of a deal to wire it up if you have the whole harness..

lol.hey i'll take it for $15 jk just like he said,get you a good inline pump,i'm using a paxton external with filter with a sump welded in the stock tank,and just run u a return line back to the tank from the opposite rail on the engine,or if you are using a after market reg that does not bolt on the fuel rails,.run it back from the reg..don't get a real big pump,cause all it is going to do is heat the fuel excessively

I'll give you $20 ;D

For the wiring harness, you can either adapt the one that came with the car or order one. FordHuelInjection.com has a lot of great info, and the guy that runs it sells a Bronco harness for the 5.0. Get the Charles Probst book on Ford Fuel injection and a Haynes or Chilton Mustang manual as well. Those have paid for themselves many times over for me already.

You can make the fuel system work with stock Bronco tanks - my 5.0 uses the stock 67 tanks just fine. You'll just need a place to dump excess fuel back into the tanks. The fuel pressure is regulated by bleeding fuel back to the tank in order to bring it within spec.

If you also got the mass air meter, Computer harness, intake harness, O2 harness, O2 sensors, BAP sensor, and the ECU. You have what you need. I rerouted the power, grounds, and coil from the left to the right. On my brothers. It takes time to do this but, it isn't hard. Get the Probst book and download the motorsport manual. There are only a few wires to splice in from the bronco harness.
Post pics of what you got and some one will let you know what else you need.

Pretty much a stock 5.0 so the same as all other conversions.
