If your looking for a low cost solution, an in-line external fuel pump of the "solenoid" design would do the trick. They kind of look like an old canister in-line fuel filter with 2 wires coming out of it. Easy to frame mount and with some simple rubber isolators, pretty quiet. Summit Racing has 368 different listings for these type pumps. $17.00-200.00. I would look for about 4-6 PSI and 30 or so GPM. It looked like $50-80 would buy a name brand pump like Edelbrock or Carter. If your set on going the in-tank route, maybe you can modify a 1971-1976 Vega fuel pump. They were low pressure for a carb. application.

If this is done then you would have to bypass the mechanical pump.

I've been using Facet inline pumps for at least 60 years- since they were not transistorized! They are around $75 now. The 32 GPH ones are available in at least a couple of pressure ratings- I've used the 1.5-4.0 PSI ones for all sorts of vehicles from 4 HP Kohlers on up to 389 Pontiacs. They are very quiet. I've got a pair of them in parallel on the Pontiac Tri-Power in my GMC, mounted on rubber on a frame rail and they can barely be heard even with the engine stopped.
