Electric fuel pump

[djm3452004]

I did a comparable setup to Vangremlin.  I went just a little further forward on the rail, mounting the pump adjacent to the front leaf spring mount.  I sourced rubber isolator mounts after initially being very displeased with the noise/vibration from the pump resonating loudly through the unibody.  Instead of using the Holley-Sniper supplied fuel hose for the bulk of the supply line to the engine bay, I made my own hard line out of NiCopp brake line and ran it all the way forward.  I used the factory supply hard line as the return line. 

I used this pump setup for the very same reasons as others have stated; I was not keen on chopping into my tank.
 I do not recall there being enough room at the top of the tank between it and the trunk floor anyway for all the fittings, etc. for an in-tank pump, without artificially spacing the tank downward.
