I don't want to cut the floor or use a cell in the trunk. Looking for ideas to cleanly install an electric pump setup.

Use a modern design pump that mounts inside the tank.

I have a small sump welded to the original fuel tank with 2x -10 fittings at the rear feeding 2x Carter pumps on the left side of the tank, 528 cube Barracuda.

I'm using a Magnafuel 275 & a 1/2"pickup that incorporates an extra line that I hook the return on my line from the pump to. The bracket is connected to the underside of my bolt in cage.

I have a 3" tail pipe right there so space is limited but that is the idea if the space was there.
Will a intank pump work with a carb since most are designed for efi.

An intake pump works fine with a carb but you'll need a return line. That is actually the best system for a carb but it does involve running the second line back to the tank. The return line setup always has fresh gas at the carb so it gets rid of the fuel line boiling issue on hot days or other such problems.

You should be able to buy a brand new tank for an E body that is already set up for an intank pump. So it is almost a plug and play type of deal these days.

Mine is installed in a cell, but using a 255 Walbro reg'd to 6psi for my 493. Amp draw is ~5 amps at 6-7psi. Pickup sock is a cheap pre-filter.

Only challenge might be baffles in a stock tank, check out Aeromotive Phantom or Tanks Inc for some aftermarket options.

you could always make a bracket & mount the pump in front of the tank & up behind the diff.

That's a nice tank setup but I don't want to disturb trunk area.
The weld on sump or tanks inc unit looks to be the winner.
