Default Twin 450's in 99-03 tank?

Any one able to fit 2 walbro 450's in stock 99-03 tank? No to concerned about fitting them in the bucket, just more so getting them in the in tank.
I plan on building a bracket to set them closer to the back of the tank, so Mabey some one has some ideas how to go about that as well?

You can get them in the tank, just have to hack the crap out of the bucket, but if your doing a custom bracket then you won't worry about that anyway

User on here (zblee) with Project Silver Bullet put them in the stock bucket with modification. They seemed to be staggered as well. But you can look it up.

I plan to do the same thing in my build and run one off a hobbs switch.

I dotn think the bucket is much different than the nnbs buckets but I could be wrong. I'm finishing up putting two in my bucket and I'll get pics.

The 03+ buckets dwarf the 99-02 bucket. As stated you basically have to hack the bucket up to make clearance for them. The first set I did I had them staggered and wasn’t happy with them so I cut the bottom of the bucket out and welded pumps together and made a custom bracket that put them on the bottom of the tank. I now run a fuel cell but the pumps worked fine after welding them together, they are still in use in another project that gets DD

I'm thinking about a bracket that will put them closer to the back of the tank. Mabey some 1/4" or 3/16" rod. I'll post on here what I come up with in due time.
I was more concerned with them fitting in the opening of the tank

They actually don't fit, perfectly side by side any way. I had to "stagger" them up and down, the higher pump will be my boost referenced pump. Here's some pics. Still need some hose to plumb it all in.
