Nice install and write-up. But I'm not too keen on having a fuel pump inside the passenger compartment, even if it's in the storage bin area.

You know, Tractor Supply has hole saws that go up to 4 3/8... The yare pricy though so this way worked out pretty good for you since it is only a one time thing. One time until the next time when you do it to my car that is hehe. Looks good man, definately better than my current setup.

i dont think he had to drill too big of a hole in a floor, there is 2 holes that are about 1x1 already there, or atleast mine has 2 behind each seat. looks like factory hook ups or something.

Keep in mind that I needed to install a fuel filter that's even larger (in diameter anyway) than the pump. Also keep in mind that the pump needs to be installed vertically. Trust me...I looked at the frame rail and couldn't see a way to make it work. But then, I'm by no means a fabricator, so if you can set me straight and show me some photos of how it should be done, I'd be more than happy to re-do it.

With the other pump out and the brackets gone, you got a nice place on the frame rail for a plate. And then the pump bolts onto that. Well, when it had its original bracket in place anyway!

I'll have to go to my friend's house and see his car again. He's doing something like this and we spent a day back there replacing springs and bushings and measured stuff. What type of cooling is the motor going to get having trapped air in the bin?
