So I got screwed out of my custom designed surge and am looking for cheaper alternatives....

Found this, the design is to have it mounted through the floor where the back seat would be. My reservations about it would be the 3 fuel line connections inside the car....anyone else have good/bad comments about buying this?

Are you keeping the stock tank? I would be worried about the fuel lines too. In the event of an accident, that could have some pressure in it for a bit after the pump is shut down.
You could build an enclosure around it to seal it off from the cabin. Why not just get one that fits under the floor.
