Aeromotive fuel pump and stock fuel tank???

The qestion is how do you guys mount the fuel pump and where do you weld the fitting into the bottom of the tank.

I have the A1000 fuel pump and will be running 1/2 alluminum line to the front, and -8an braided line to the rails.

But where can I put the fitting and how have you guys done it in the past??

Redrx7 how did you mount those pumps? Is there a bracket you fabbed, or did you just mount them to the piece of metal that is already existing under there?

Thanks for the pictures, that is how I was gonna do it, but Am trying to get it right?

Also are you funning a fuel cooler, because the line goes pretty close the exhaust. does it heat up the fuel too much?

How much power are you wanting to make and at what boost? 2 intank Walbros will out flow that pump all day long and only cost $200. In addition that pump is VERY loud and 2 intake Walbros is not.
