Great info Claude, kudos to you.  How is it going to be to get at the FPR to adjust it down the road though?

Well, I think when I get the 1/2" spacer there will be more room to maybe get an allen key to adjust an adjustable fpr.  As it is its pretty tight.

For shiznits and giggles I flipped the intake around.  Guess what it hits the fuel rail even worse like that.  1/2" spacer is the only way to go.

Oh no.  I can't have the intake face the driver side.  There wont be enough room over there ;)  Honestly wanted to put it to rest so no one else said to flip it.  It simply wont fit.

has anyone researched this out to see what years the f150 5.0 had this setup other than the 94

I'd guess from '87 up through '96. Every one I've seen are similar (and I've seen a shiznit-ton), excepting the 2 vs. 3 bolt regulator, as Claude mentioned.

(My '92 F truck has the 3 bolt FPR...)

This should be posted as well in the engine swapping section, or copied, or stickied, etc :D

OK after going to the yard this weekend all of the vans had the 5.8 and all of the truck 5.0 that I found did in fact have the input tward the back but none had the braided lines all were hard lines my question is are the TC lines long enough to reach the fuel rails or do I have to find the  braided lines from a van weather its a 5.8 or 5.0 it looks to me like either had the braided lines

look for a truck that has the fuel filter right up by the engine on the frame rail.  this is what I will be using for my TC.  the lines going to the rail will be black plastic.
