I have a 5 gal. Cell in the spare tire well . It’s elevated so the outlet is level with the pump which is mounted behind the cell

I used a holesaw to put a hole in my trunk so I could mount the pump on my frame and the top of the pump is in the trunk. Worked out great.

Just the top of the pump protruded into the trunk , using a sumped stock tank. Made a simple bracket to bolt it to the outside of the spare tire well.

I really like the new pumps that bolt inside the fuel cell. Holley has a line of them and so do other vendors such as Aeromotive. Just a whole drop in assembly. The chassis builder that I work with has started to move all the drag cars over to that style since it works so well and it frees up a bunch of space and gets rid of some plumbing. That is what I am looking at for my current project. Even in a carburated application , it makes sense. And is as clean a look as you can get.

My car has the stock tank with the spare tire well removed. There is a ton of space under there with the tire well removed. I have two fuel pumps, a fuel cooler, and a trailer hitch setup all between the tank and the rear valance.
EDIT, I didn't see your picture. Looks like you already used that room haha.

Mine is mounted next to the fuel cell. My cell is raised so it’s above the trunk floor.

Didn't know it was safe to put them in the trunk. Mounting mine like I did I knew immediately when I had a fuel leak as it leaked on the ground. I removed it that week and fixed it. How fast are the guys mounting them in their trunks going to find it.
