Can't see any reason why an external fuel pump would cause any problems. So long as you got the pickup IN the tank right, having the pump outside the tank should be okay...
Actually...I think the V8 had an external fuel pump.
You can mount them where ever you like, boot, chasis-rail, hell...even the engine if you wanted. You'd just need to run the fuel lines where you need them. |

Only if you want to have the fuel pump mounted somewhere cool...anyway...with what you've got planned, you'll need to up the fuel pressure considerably, so looking at stainless steel braided fuel lines might be a good move in the future.
The only 'customisation' you'll need to do (ie...for the pump in the boot), is to run some fuel line from the tank to the pump, and from the pump back to the original fuel line. However if you were to just put the pump down on the chasis rail, say like where the fuel filter is, then you should be able to just chop and join. At least I can't see why you shouldn't be able to.
