elec. pump/filter location

hi folks
since my rear end is out of the car here is my thought, mounting the mallory elec. pump and fram HPG-1 filter next to the top half the gas tank and between the upper shock mounting studs. i have a .050 thick ss plate that is 20 inches long by 4 1/2 inches wide. i drilled 2 holes for the plate to fit over the shocks studs so the plate will be held in place once the shocks are put on. (plate,washer,shock,washer,bolt) so now both pump and filter are right above the fuel tank sending unit and both are about 2 1/2 inches from each shock mount and about 2 inches from the trunk floor.
it looks like it would work but i do not have the rear end back yet. anything you guys and think of being an issue?
car is 68 barracuda with ss springs, 3/4" off set leaf spring, 2 1/2 exhaust to the bumper. i currently have a holley blue pump on the inside frame rail but there just is no room for the filter and pump.
thanks

When I had a stock gas tank, I had my Holley blue pump and canister fuel filter mounted in that general location (lower than the shock mounts, but in between them). It was approximately level with the sending unit. I had it that way for probably 12 years at least with no issues. It was enough to feed my old nitrous motor for 8 years. If I remember I try to shoot a pic of the location when I get home....although things look different under my car now than they did when i had that setup. It had a stock gas tank and an 8 3/4 rear end, now it has a fuel cell and a fabricated and back braced MO875 rear end.
