When adding my aeromotive pump they told me that it had to be lower than the fuel tank and the only place that I could basically mount mine was to put it on the inside of the passenger side frame rail right behind the rear seat basically. The main question is how close can this be to a heat source as the pump lines are approximately 4" away from the muffler on that side. Also I just installed a sump and there's probably 4 ft of -10 to the pump. Any problem with that?

Why not on the rear frame rail behind the tire?

There was no room due to the tailpipes. I guess I could move it to the outside of the rail but then the lines would still have to cross the tailpipes at some point.

The only thing I might consider is that you don't ask the pump to perform two functions.
It will have to draw from the tank , and push fuel forward.
It most likely will do both , but I have always had my pump behind the tank to take advantage of both gravity and surge on launch , so the pump only has to propel the fuel forward from there.
Like I said , it will probably work , but it isn't the ideal set up.

Standby This pump is a Magnafuel 300 mounted in the inside corner of the passenger side frame rail and rear bumper panel, it does not go through the trunk floor. The sump is stainless steel with a 12 AN steel fitting welded into the bottom of it and a 5/8 (#12 AN size) aluminum line to the pump using #12 AN fittings I did have the exhaust system on the car, the Muffs are mounted on the ouside of the frame rails between the fenders and the frame, the exhaust pipes run under the rear end housing, no room for them over the rear end housing because of the coil overs I ran the 1/2 inch aluminum fuel line on the inside of the rear frame rail and then to the front of the car through the trans crossmember and then on the inside of the front frame rails, don't forget to protect it as required by NHRA rules. As already said, mount the pump as far back as possible Almost all of the good electric pumps for carbs. push a lot better than they suck IHTH EDIT, no picture Hopefully fixed now

My pump is set up in relation to my fuel cell like your alternative #2 ( directly across from tank output) and it seems to work fine.

I run a fuel cell on a rack built to keep it up off the trunk floor. The BG pump is mounted below the tank in the trunk . #12 AN from the tank to the filter/pump , then #10AN to the reg.

Here is mine with a stock tank.
I haven't run the lines forward yet , but am leaning towards outside the frame rail and through the trans cross member.
kind of a work in progress deal.

I don't know why it didn't attach.
Let's try again.

Awesome guys! I ended up using the alternative #1 which was basically I believe what Cab had posted. The only thing now is the fitting between the pump and the filter I am not sure about. I just put an o-ring on the -10AN male fitting out of the pump and screwed the filter on. Pretty sure it's likely to leak and may have to find a female/female coupler or something and put the other fitting back into the filter. Thanks for all the help!
