yeah for ight now im just running a 140 gph mechanical pump,the only way i would run the electric pump is if i ran the fuel cell wich i might have to,if theres any junk in the tank im gonna be going to the fuel cell,like u say then i can drop the tank and create lots of room to mount it there,yeah my exhaust will be routed out the back like original.im gonna be running a holley regulator with return even with the mechanical pump,like u say lots of these carbs dont like more than 6lbs of pressure especially holley carbs and my mechanical runs aroun 8 lbs of pressure so i gotta regulate it,i like to set mine between 5 and 6 lbs,no need for any more than that,when we dynoed it we only ran about 4.5 to 5 lbs of fuel pressure.makes it idle better without flooding out the carb.by dropping the tank i could mount the electric pump there inbetween the exhaust and should have no problem keeping cool.and lots of the new pumps are submersible and could just mount it in the fuel cell somehow.

I don't use a return on mechanical pumps. They can handle the head pressure and not need a return. I run 4.5 lbs. pressure on all my cars, and never had an issue keeping the carbs full of fuel.
On my dual quad tunnel ram I was going to use both outlets to run one line to each carb, but decided to put my pressure gauge in one outlet and then feed the other to a fuel block that a buddy makes and then to each carb.

sweet i love that tunnel ram set-up,that fuel block is awesome great idea,yeah i think im gonna run mine at 4.5 too and see how it does,ur right it doesnt take much fuel pressure and so much easier to tune at that pressure in my oppinion.is that ur 327 in ur austin,looks killer,always liked the tunnel ram set-up.
