Jim,

Understand that an electric pump has very little suction on the feed side. This is why it is a good idea to mount it as low and as close to the fuel tank as you can. You should also place the filter after the pump for the same reason.
I have run an electric Carter pump on my Dodge 340-6 car for years and it is not below the tank but it is at the lowest point on the car I could get it and as close to the tank as I could fit it.
I run that poor engine up to 8,000 and have never had a fuel problem.
Just get it as close and as low as you can and it should be fine.
