<VV> Electric fuel pump relocation

[ricknorris at suddenlink.net]

Keep in mind electric fuel pumps make noise. The unit body construction makes a nice drum. That is why I mounted mine on the front cross member.
You should have heard the high pressure pump on my fuel injected Crown V8 the first time I mounted the pump. Even with loud exhaust pipes I could hear it.
Word to the wise here.
