155lph will be fine but if you have plans for a power adder in the future then go 255lph

question mind as well throw mine in here instead of starting a new one about fuel pumps. I'm building a 347 efi for my notch what fuel pump should I use and will stock lines (I will not be using the stock fuel rail though) work for it or should I change all the lines and stuff?

if power output of your 347 will be under 500 then the stock lines will be adequate...and a 255 lph pump will work fine.....and it'll be fine on a stock motor because you have a return style fuel system so excess will be returned to the tank and will not cause any drivibility concerns
