I'm needing a little help with this. I am having to install a new fuel pump and im just going to go with an original pump. I'm sure there is already a thread about this but i cannot find it for the life of me. I'm pretty sure that its not to difficult of a task but im just wanting to know what to do before i jump in. any thing will help. thanks

google ford gt fuel pump install. Follow the instructions on dropping the tank and such. Once your in the tank it's pretty easy with a stock pump change

Don't put a stock pump back in there, look down the road, you'll be adding mods and before you know it you'll be back in there to replace the stock pump.

Drive the car till the gas is down to at least an 1/8 of a tank.

While you're at it you might as well change the fuel filter at the same time. Have a bucket handy when you pull the line off the fuel filter as fuel will flow out of the line going to the front of the car.

Make me an offer on the 255 LPH pump I have for sale.

It super easy, i timed myself and i had the tank dropped and pump out in 16mins and thats with jacking the car up and setting it on jackstands.

here's my writeup from when i wrote up the install on my supercharger. it's very straight forward:

"Fuel pump and the fuel filter were next.

-These were also pretty straight forward. Now that I think of it, nothing was really "difficult" it just took patience and time really.

-For the fuel pump you have to drop the fuel tank down. To do this remove the fuel lines attached to the tank itself. They are just held on by clamps. Two on the front and two on each side of the tank. Then remove the 3 bolts that are around the gas cap. From here go ahead and jack a jack up to support the tank while you unbolt the straps supporting the fuel tank. The tank might not want to drop right away because it a) might be stuck, b) might be stuck on the exhaust, or c) might be clinging on to this putty that for some reason is stuck to the tank and bottom of the car.

-Once everything is loose slowly lower the tank and make sure nothing is getting stuck.

-The top of my tank was a bit dirty and I was afraid of getting junk in the fuel tank so I vacuumed the top of the tank until it was clean. There are about 8 bolts holding the over on the top of the fuel tank. Unbolt them.

-The top of the fuel basket is held on by about 6 VERY VERY small screws. CAREFULLY unscrew them and make sure they do not fall in the tank. After this remove the top of the basket and take out the fuel pump.

-Repeat all of this in reverse order when putting the new fuel pump in.

-Once everything was bolted back up I went ahead and changed the fuel filter. This was a bit frustrating. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR SAFTEY GOGGLES!!!! Thankfully I did and fuel spilt all over my face but I ended up being alright. You can wash gas off of your skin but it can permanently damage your eyes. You need a special Ford fuel line puller that you can get at any auto parts store. Mine was like 8 bucks."

I would upgrade the fuel pump for sure if you plan on adding any future mods.
