I drove two different Ford school buses, an 86 with the 370 and an 87 with the 429. Neither ever vapor locked with the in-tank pump. Sometimes it was so hot I wished they would. Go to a bus salvage joint and get the unit out of a bus.

On a side note, that 429 is a hot running engine. The mechanics hated those things when it came manifold time as that always meant pulling the heads. They just cooked those bolts to nothin and the engine sits too low in the rails to repair installed. The 429 seemed to cook ignition modules quicker, too.
