Default Fuel line and in-line fuel pump questions for 5.0L

I recently put a 5.0 out of a fox body into a ranger. I am using the stock fuel rail. What size line should I run off of that? Also can I just use rubber line and clamps or do I need to run something else? Also I was going to use an in-line electric fuel pump. What size pump should I use. Motor is bored .30 over, gt40 upper and lower, but stock other than that.

Thanks

rubber line isnt recommended b/c if it chaffes or gets cut, you'll have fuel everywhere

stock fuel feed line is 5/16" steel
stock return is 1/4" steel

depends on your mods.. but going too big, isnt going to hurt anything

that being said, the aeromotive A1000 isnt a bad choice
