Is that doable? Principal of operation would be the same, but everything would be contained within a custom/modified fuel tank, with a distinctly factory look from the outside.

Yikes.):http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34562As an alternative, I think a seperate surge tank with its own pump, all within the fuel tank itself, would be an awesome way to go.
