I just need to know what is the stock ones rating out of a '88 5.0? 255lph? I can get a pump from a '88 2.3 turbo 'Stang for $10 with the tank. What is the rating of the 'Stang's pump and will it work in my Merc?

Stock is 80 lph in a mustang 5.0L. There was never a turbocharged 88 mustang 2.3L. The stock 2.3L is probably around 60lph or less.
The pump will not be a drop in. It will require modification to work in a panther chassis car.
The last year for turbo 2.3 mustangs was 1986, the last year for the Mustang SVO. The turbo 2.3L did live on for 2 more years in the Thunderbird TurboCoupe. It was a tad different than the Mustang SVO's motor.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Well, i'm not completely sure on the body of the 'Stang, it's either a 1986 or a 1988... Either way, it's motor is from a Thunderbird TurboCoupe
What kind of modifcations will need to be made? And what is the typical lph for an '88 5.0?Resident diesel addictComment

Already answered the LPH q....
The mustang pump is a much smaller diameter, and the sock mounts different. You need to make a adapter to fit in the panterh bracket, and modify the panther bracket so you can get the fox pump sock on.
If your motor is stock, it will be a waste of time and effort.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

How used is the pump? Unless its fairly new I wouldn't really bother with installing a used fuel pump. Hardly worth the trouble. New ones are not that expensive.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I'm not sure on how new the pump is, but from my view, I have no money for a new pump and this one is free.Resident diesel addictComment

Sorry for the confusion MrLTD when refering to the stock 88 5.0 pump I was refering to the LoPo 5.0.Resident diesel addictComment
