Anyone have access to a parts room? I need a pump with these dimensions. Same plug and sock filter mount would be ideal. Measurements are in MM. Thanks!

If you can deal with a different electrical connector, it would be super easy to find. Infact, I probably have one laying around here. Ford uses that style of pump in several things and using different connectors, but I haven't saw that particular one.

BTW, these pumps are extremely cheap when buying used. I sold a pair for an '03 cobra for $15 shipped. Stock Mustang GT pumps are usually free. And other pumps such as Lincoln Aviator and SVT focus are good to 450+HP. lol

$60 Carquest 80-100psi 45gph should work perfect and even plug is the same. Not sure what it is off of since we just found it by looking at pics of stock he had on hand. Was a few others but they were rated at over 120gph. I figured lower rating would be less draw on battery and its well over what we need anyway. This one is actually 1/4" shorter than one that was in there so those looking to do this it would be easier. Will still slip right into the mounting bracket like old one. Helps having a buddy working at parts store! You are right very common style even plug was on many.Thanks Jinx
Update:
Found out this pump fits many imports such as GEO Tracker might want to look at ones tank and see if mounting bracket is in there also. Make things easier if duplicating.

Cool, glad you found one.

FYI, there are 2 styles of these pumps from what I remember. One is vane style, the other is gerotor. I know Ford changed to gerotor in '99 when they went to a returnless fuel system. Though its been a bit since I looked into it all, I know that for some reason the pumps were not interchangeable. Physically, they would work. I can't remember if it was flow reasons or the pump design but it has been said that you couldn't swap them around in mustangs. Fuel tables do vary greatly when swapping pumps of different flow ratings, so that may have been the issue as well.

Yes I noticed that also with old pump-vs-prototype pump. Had to lean it out quite a bit. Easy fix though. Pressure was also a bit higher than stock regulator 44-vs-42 on original. Wasn't sure whether it was age of motor, pressure or flow though.
