Default 2.3 to 5.0 Question

Hey guys I was just wondering if the fuel pump from a 2.3 will flow enough for a 5.0 with these mods:
Police interceptor 5.0
-850 carb w/ victor jr intake
-e303 cam
-.030 overbore
-electric water pump drive
-holley fuel press. regulator
-longtubes
-8.8 rear
-t5 tranny with king cobra clutch
-jeg's custom radiator
Thanks in advance for any help, cause I really don't wanna hurt this motor for an unforseen fuel problem.

I just did the swap as well.
The 2.3L Pump doesn't flow enough for the 5.0 regardless of mods.
I still have the pump in...its stalls during idle.

Woa... 850cfm carb... thats pretty big... heh.

Get yourself a Holley "BLUE" electric fuel pump, its made for carb use and comes with a adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Its a nice pc of equipment.

Ok thanks guys, and yea the carb is a little big because I was considering throwing on one of my turbo's, but I've scrapped that idea for now. Do you think that will be too much for the mods I have, should I downgrade to a 750?
