The only advantage I can see to going with a TB system is that it doesn't look like Ford's EFI system.  But, Ford used the ugly chefs-hat intake to provide tuned intake runners for the 5.0 so it will produce it's peak torque down lower than most carb-type V8 intakes due to the long intake runners. This give better seat-of-the pants street performance, wonderful drivability, and decent MPG, and extreme reliability, but, it's ugly.  It's also way cheaper than any after market system to set up on a SBF.  For the $1000 they want you could set up an EEC-IV system and have a good start on a 4R70w transmission, or get real close to an AOD.   Just sayin' Henry.  Come to the Bash and I'll load you up with most of what you'll need to set up a Ford system.  If you are putting it on your 289 it won't have to be anything fancy.  A stock 5.0 system will do all you will ever need on that engine.  I even have a harness I can throw in....Oh, wait a minute, that harness is Corky's so you can't have it.  I do have my old harness though and we could talk.

I know a few folks running it and they LOVE it. Like you said the Fuel Sump Pump is awesome. As soon as I can, it's going on the Mach. Remember you do have to run a Vent line back to the Tank, no fuel return though and you can use your mechanical pump if you still have it.

 Ron, how long have your friends been running this? This system looks pretty interesting, along with Ron's endorsement, makes me think.

Looks pretty impressive butt.......can it work with this?!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhwnuPahJo0

The price isn't to bad.  Im interested in what Ron's friends think too!   Maybe MS can do a test run and review  for us...

Okay, Henry...watched the vid, pretty slick if  it its truly a bolt-on, plug & play setup.  And, I guess at that price it's not too bad if it really saves a lot of harness building and fuel line running.  And, it do look better than the Ford setup.

Bring it to the Bash and take me for a ride.  Okay?

Several months now. Said it Tunes itself very well.... Can't wait to get my pennies saved up for it. Upgrading back to Power steering at the moment...not sure Why I took it off, but it needs to go back on now... lol

   Keep us posted Ron and do a right up and post some pics when you do it!  Thanks

 In my research on this unit I also found this coming out.

Shows a short video down from top.

   Looks like it has all the same features as FITech!   They must of been scared by FITech's price and decided to duplicate something similar.    This is a good thing though!   In 5 years maybe they'll have the $499 EFI conversion...LOL

I think the fuel sump is a great idea.  $400 bucks though seems a bit much.  What would it take to make a DIY one?  Maybe use a Ford Contour fuel pump and re-purpose a "catch can" type of container to hold the fuel. Is it doable?

 
Sure it's doable. The real question is: are your fabrication skills sufficient such that you would be comfortable driving your vintage Mustang with a pressurized fuel tank you constructed? If so, then have at it, but take lots of pictures to post on the forum.

Actually, I thought $400 was pretty cheap for everything that is included in the tank/pump system. The Aeromotive in tank pump is $400 for just the pump. The Aeromotive tank to fit your car with an in tank pump is $700.

After more thought I realized I can just use the external pump that came with my Powerjection III kit.  The only high pressure part is the line from the pump to the PJ III unit.  A question for you guys - can I send the return line to the fuel sump or does that need to go back to the tank so the fuel can cool.  If this works I can do it for the cost of a sump tank, two feet of high pressure line, and two feet of low pressure line and I make no changes to the current tank and just keep the current lines and pump in place.
