I'm thinking about installing mine on the passenger side inner fender back by the heater.
Edelbrock also has a sump tank unit that many mount up front on the radiator support. Go to YouTube and watch install videos of the Holley Terminator, MSD Atomic, EZ-Fast, and the Edelbrock E-Street. Many Pump/Tank install options with or without the SumpKit/FCC.

The Edelbrock tank looks like its a lot bigger than the FITech one. I looked at that one a while ago but couldn't see a good way to fit it without moving other stuff.

There's a guy in these forums that made his own.
Here's a couple threads where there's been some previous discussion :

The 85551 is the exact one I am going with.

Cool! I'm going the same route as you.
First I'll get the FiTech EFI all up and running, then make the switch to Computer Controlled Timing.
Originally I thought my existing distributor was a nice MSD, so I was going to hold off on the timing control feature, but mines just an old GM HEI with a pretty MSD cap and wires.

My current dizzy is a Msd street Fire hei. Basically a exact gm hei replica with a few nicer internal parts. Don't throw your dizzy away. May be a street fire also

No, I found a stamped number on the side. It's out of a 77 vet.
Either way, I won't be throwing it away.

As far as I can tell, the only thing we need is a coil and phasing rotor. Nothing else is needed for the ECU.

CORRECTO FRIENDO I may buy an extra cap to drill a hole in to phase the rotor. Look it up on YouTube. Msd has a nice write up.

Yep, already saw that video. In the last couple weeks I think I've watched every msd video there is. Along with every FiTech, E-Street, Terminator, EZ-Fast, Atomic video there is. :-D

So does this thing run off the stock low pressure pump, and then using a secondary pump in that big until to boost the pressure?

Yes, but it isn't that big. There's a forum post of it next to a pop can.
Here's a video :

Last pictures unless someone ask for more. Here she is all cleaned up under the hood and the paint touched up I chipped. I bought some wire mold I gotta put on behind the breather

What in cab heater are you using?
I'm thinking about installing my FCC there on the passenger's firewall.

I have vintage air the gen IV kit. Heater coil is in the cab with evaporator coil

Awesome install! This may have already been asked, but why do you have two A/C compressors? Or is one acting as an air compressor for a bagged suspension?
Thanks!

In regards to the phenolic spacer- how much of an issue is heat soak on a FI throttle body?

I collect and restore 100% real train horns and bells. I converted the compressor on the drivers side to an air compressor. I run 3 tanks. The 12 in back and 2 3 gallons for a total of 18 gallons at 200 psi regulated to 130 for the horns. No bags on the truck. Just a weird LOUD hobby. These are my 1957 bronze chambered Leslie supertyfons S5T and bell. Both off the same 1950's Norfolk Southern unit

I have never heard of any issues with heat soak on fuel injection. No problems with mine to date.

If it where me i would run hard line under the radiator and just use rubber to connect to the pumps that much rubber fuel line is asking problems

I wonder if it helps with fuel atomization, probably not much. I have a 1" spacer under my carb and I was wondering if I should keep it with the fuel injection or just remove it.
I wonder if anyone has done a test to see if it makes a difference or not.

That is bad to the bone. I bet folks poop their pants when you come up behind them and hit that train horn!
