junkyard high flow fuel pump?

What cars should I be looking at for a cheap high flow fuel pump? Either inline or in tank. I'm losing my storage space and need to move a car (missing gas tank and pump) across town. I'm just going to rig up a sealed 5 gal bucket in the trunk. The car is a twin turbo 300zx. Even though this wont be my permanent fuel setup I wan't something that can keep up in case I need to get into boost.

Thanks!

Mid '80's F150's have external pumps, IIRC. If it's enough for the 5.0, it should be enough for the Z in boost.

BUT... just tow the thing. A bucket of fuel in the trunk is dangerous.

I use later model F-250 V10 pumps. They can flow 80 psi to that beast of a motor's burn rate and are almost a factory fit for E30/E36 car in-tank pumps.

Just to rephrase... I'm only moving it like 2 miles in town here. I figure $25 at the u-pull-it is cheaper than renting a truck and trailer. I'll move it late at night when there is minimal traffic. I've got a closed top liquid tight bucket that I'll be using.

Think it will over run the stock FPR?

That would just be making the regulator regulate - which it should be doing all the time. Any fuel pump should be driving the FPR to saturation or you would have a low fuel pressure condition.

Mercedes CIS fuel pump made by Bosch. One thing mercedes are good at is burning fuel.

What year/model should I be looking for

That is the Bosch 044 I believe. Those are good pumps - also available in BMW, Porsche cars of 90's vintage.

Turbo DSM, MKIV Supra (LOL in a junkyard), Bosch 044 as mentioned.

But seriously, do you have a hundred bucks? A Walbro 255 on ebay AND you get to keep it as a permanent pump.

2 miles? I think I'd invest in a good tow strap and roll it vs. all the work you'll go through on a temp and possibly dangerous install of a bucket and pump.

Most Mercedes from like 1976 to 1990 used a variant of CIS as did many other manufacturers. Bosch pump with blue band. The fuel pumps are rated pretty high I think over 80psi. Just go to the junkyard these pumps don't fail often.

I think Pres is right about not doing anything foolish to avoid a tow.

Any efi 240/740 Volvo has a nice little package of Bosch pump with fuel filter bolted to the underside of the car. Make sure you grab the wire connector and fuel outlet fitting- inlet is a pretty standard slip on fitting.

I agree on the Bosch pump. A nice little note about them... If you run two of them in parallel, you will have enough fuel flow (even with E85) to take you beyond streetability in most cars.
