You'll probably want at least a Walbro 255 in there with the mods. If it was just a stock 6.0 you were dropping in you could get away with the stock pump.

I agree with the above but would also look into the AEM 320LPH pumps that SDPC have to offer. They give you a bit more flow for roughly the same cost. And they have one that is E85 compatible if that's anywhere in your future.....

I ran my stock pump with a LQ4, 230-238 604 604 cam, TBSS intake, 42Lb injectors, 10.8compression, PRC 2.5 Heads, long tubes etc.... it did just fine
I am not sure of the difference in stock pumps between ours years tho.
