Electric fuel pumps are designed to push fuel so you want to locate it near the tank.

I mounted mine just forward of the tank.  Bolted through to the back of the trunk area. 

I would also recommend using hard rubber to dampen the vibration.  Mine was loud until I fashioned a noise damper with rubber.  You'll see what I mean if you don't.  The pump resonates through the car if you don't dampen it with a rubber buffer.

Have fun

there was a duster in on of the mopar mags a few years ago.  that guy used a corvette "in tank" pump.  he modified a stock sending unit and mounted into a stock tank with no mods.  looked pretty easy.  I am toying around with this idea myself.  that would certainly dampen the noise...

It's allways preferable to mount the pump lower than the tank.  You can fab up a bracket and keep the pump low and away from the tailpipes. As mentioned above, a rubber isolator will keep noise down. The Mallory pumps are pretty descent.
