You're not going to take the 250 out in favor of the Vortec are you?
not much stress on electric fuel pump...so I would say your bracket is fine. You might want to look into ways to mitigate the vibration of the pump working its way through wherever you mount that...and get aggravating due to noise. Rubber isolators of some type...washers or homemade section of scrap rubber material to mitigate metal against metal.
Got the pictures today, since it was wet yesterday:
Mounted on the right rear rail - Remember I have a 2" body lift, which gives me 2" above the frame rail to put "stuff", including the top portion of the pump motor.

This point of mount is very busy with the fuel lines, evap line, brake line, diff breather (goes up to high point on firewall) and the AIR locker line (in protective rubber hose). But looks like the right place to put the pump. The offset bracket gets the pump away from the frame, allowing all those lines to pass "beside" the pump. I think the pump will be well protected in this "hole".
The green line is the steel return line to the tank. The draw/feed/supply line is not there. Yeah, gotta add the filters and the hose, etc from tank to rear filter, but it is looking good I think. The front filter will fit fine, but need to figure a good way to mount the rear filter securely.
I do have the electrical planned out, and some wired into its own harnesses. The rest will be done on saturday.
I do have a valid question: Attaching to the existing steel line, how does one make a "bulge" on the end to help keep the clamp on the pipe?
