I mounted mine on the shock crossmember, used a spring bracket that the filter snaps into, used 180 degree fittings at either end since the line didn't want to make the bend from the pump outlet to the filter.... Now every connection is easily made...   I used a GM filter since it has 3/8 push on connections...

I should have added:
I have a Spectra EFI tank with the in-tank fuel pump.
I also used the push lock fittings, just don't see a clean place to mount it in the engine bay.

Do you have pic/info on the filter/spring mount, I could change over if this could be mounted up front.

You could mount it on the passenger frame rail outside the torsion bar area...

Looks good, got a PN? 
What specific filter does it work with?

The deal is thats similar to the bracket I used but the one I used I grabbed in a junk yard years ago & I honestly can't recall what it came off of... I know it was a Ford car.... The filter I used was GM based with 3/8" push lock connectors, it actually is for an Aussie Holden....  GM Pt number 92169719

Thew Ford bracket was actually lose on the filter so I adjusted it slightly...

The pictured bracket is Aeromotive 12701

Just did some searching, this looks like a good bracket donor...

FYI for anyone looking at this, I ended up getting the standard filter used in my 06 Mustang and found this clamp on Amazon.
Less than $30 for both, I couldn't see paying almost $100 for the same thing from Aeromotive.
