You will want to remove your spare tire prior to drilling in the cargo area. That is pretty much the only real concern. You may want to drill from the bottom so that you get the holes in accessible locations underneath. There is a frame support under there that can be tricky to get a nut on a bolt if that is where yours ends up.

As for the Walbro pump. Use either the GSS307 (std presure) or the GSS340 (high pressure). If your fuel pressure stays below 55psi, then the 307 is probably the right pump for the job. You can get the Mustang kit (with the 340) for $119 from Muscle Motors Performance ( http://www.http://www.musclemotors.com/ ) and the 307 is $10 less I think. That is where I have gotten both of mine from and the Mustang kit works just fine. The pumps are identical, but the contents of the kit are a little different. Since you only need the pump and the fuel sock, it makes no difference.

Oh, and the Holley pump is a repackaged Walbro unit sold by Holley.

Why just go for a pump alone? You are only fixing part of the problem.
Here is a much better answer... http://www.racetronix.com/Racetronix...t-GSS307M.html
They are available through ARE and other sponsors of this board.
