68 Barracuda Convertible 452 cu.in. 4-speed
To answer your questions: We installed edelbrock fuel pumps many times with the pump above the tank. Sometimes we've had to pressurize the tank a little bit for initial running. All lines in my project are far away from the exhaust. Behind the pump and filter I've installed a heat shield just in case. The rear bench is made of an original bench incorparating the design of the fronts. In the pictures all the seats are not installed yet.
Concerning middle console I'm going to use a 68-B-Body 4-speed one fitted to the Cuda. I like the design and width of it. Will post some pictures when I'm ready.
By the way nice looking car. Is it sunfire yellow?
