Mechanical Fuel Pump fit Help

[macman340]

I was about to purchase, MOPAR DODGE 273 318 340 360 MECHANICAL CHROME FUEL PUMP HP 1005-C

And read This:

If your engine now has an oem stock fuel pump on it, and it is very close to the frame rail, be sure you have clearance before purchasing this pump. The Extreme series fuel pump is slightly larger than the oem stock pump. Most of the size increase is in the height and very little difference in diameter. We have seen some applications where the oem fuel pump is less than an inch from the frame rails. Most vehicles will have over an inch in all directions and this fuel pump is not a problem.

My original 273, is out of the car & the 360 with Mancini Motor mounts is going back in, anybody know if This will be an issue?
Thanks FABO

Early A's have ~2" less distance between the frame rails than 1967+. Most likely they are referring to the more common later cars, so I would worry.

That is what I was afraid of, I didn't order it, guess I'll keep looking, thanks!
