Trying to get crafty with my fuel pump install

[HawkX66]

My new motor needs an electric fuel pump, but I don't want to see it. I'm planning on mounting it out back by the fuel tank on the frame rail.
Right now I have a factory style fuel pump mounted on the block and here is what I'm thinking about doing...
I'd like to figure out a way to gut the fuel pump and tie the in/out fuel lines together so you can't see it. This way there is no additional plumbing involved and it will be the cleanest install IMO.
Has anyone tried this? I think the hardest part would be the crimp. Getting it open and re-crimped without denting it up. I've thought about using a ZL1 style fuel pump because they're screwed together, but I don't think that style is exactly a dime a dozen...
