Yeah!
Ain't any worse than outside the frame rails on a truck....
How would you do a fuel pump? Inline or sump it?

Interesting... I know my dad's old ford had the tank behind the seat. I'd have to figure out a way to plumb the filler neck and everything but thay wouldn't be too bad. Thanks for the ideas guys.
Where is the fuel pick-up located in the behind the seat tanks?
Why not just run 2 small fuel cells?
I have the behind seat tank out of my c30. Its all yours. Come get it 
I'll be right over Fockchop
All the vertical tanks I see are 18 Gal.
You gotta spare seat, yeah?

I run an rci fuel cell. Price was reasonable and its held up well. Also came with a sending unit set up for gm fuel gauges at 0-90 ohm range. Here it is from summit. http://m.summitracing.com/parts/rci-2191a
There are many other choices from rci too.

I started a pump thread about a month or so ago. It came down to buying a few "oem" ones so you have a trail spare and theyre cheap. I hear great things about walbro but theres apparently a lot of fakes out there.
On the tank...Could you just make or have made a stainless tank? Thats what i think im going to do...

Walbro ended up working the best for me. Aeromotix(?) is usually just as good.

I guess it also depends on what youre fueling too. Your EFI system probably requires more psi then a tbi system right?
Not a lot more. 45-60 psi at 155 gph
I'm running a carter for my tbi setup. I can see if I can locate the part number if you want. Will soon change though when I go 5.3
I would just run the tank you already have & just move it. That way you don't have to buy a new pump as well. Keep the tank out of the cab, you are going to want all the room you can get in there
This is a good point. You're losing most of your available cab space with this swap. There's a reason that I'm going the other direction (from a K10 to a K5). Interior space is nice.
That is most likely what will happen.
