pic 1 is a page from the April 2011 issue of Hot Rod showing an aftermarket in-tank fuel pump:
It looks like quite a nice setup. The pump itself

can be mounted inside the fuel tank

which is a feature I like (quiet operation, and being surrounded by fuel keeps it cool). In the standard configuration it must be mounted vertically and needs a minimum of 9.75" of vertical distance to the bottom of the tank

The article talks about an XRP low-profile 90 degree fitting. I believe they're talking about the info in pic 2:

I don't want to cut the trunk floor for clearance for fittings - I want the trunk open and clear so it remains the most impressive display of the awesomeness of a giant 1970s trunk.
I don't have a fuel tank in the house, so I don't know if the tank is at least 9.75" deep (plus distance for the fittings). If it's not, then an option is to use their weld-in sump kit to mount the fuel pump horizontally. Its actually quite groovy with baffles and integrated fuel filter. It might be a nice option anyway because I wouldn't need to drop the tank to do any work on the pump or fittings.

The standard fuel setup then requires a 10 micron filter after the pump, and a pressure regulator before the return line back to the tank.
your friend in not interfering with a comfortable trunk,
