Default I finally have an adequate fuel pump

Parish suggested this pump to somebody else in another thread (Thanks). I don't even have to put a gauge on the fuel rail, because it runs as good as it did before I put a stock pump back in the tank. It's Magnafuel's lowest-rated inline pump, MP-4302, rated at 1000+ HP. I found a good use for the Whipple fuel lines. I took pics of it mounted, do you guys think it looks too hillbilly-rigged?

That should work fine. I'd try to mount the pump on the firewall so it doesn't look so much out of place there. If looks don't bother you and its secure, then leave it.

Pin striping is for city boys, get ur self a big number 8 painted on there then put on a couple coats of Red Krylon. It would look friggen sweet dude. The whole trailer park would be jealous.

Come on guys ! I think you are being too hard on the guy.
And besides he could always cover it up w/ a singing bass.

It does look a little out of place, but if it works who really cares. Have you seen the truck intake w/o a cover?

I was proud of the spot that I found and the bracket that I made, but thought that it kind of sticks out. That's when I got the idea to get some opinions. Thanks for being honest. So I fixed it:

So I fixed it:


Actually I didn't think it looked too bad to begin with. It mostly stood out because It was the only clean part under the hood. I see you fixed that too. I think it might look a little better if you could shorten and reroute the braided lines. Asking for opinions is just asking for some ball breakin'.

I think I might use the hairnet idea to dress up my intake.
