Default Quiet Electric Fuel Pumps

We had to put in an electric fuel pump in our 69 Mach I because of the March Serpentine System. We used a Holly Blue which is really noisy. Does anyone know of a quieter external electric fuel pump.

How did the belts interfere with the fuel pump?

The only way I can think to quiet down an electric pump is with some isolators in the mounting system. You'll want something to completely isolate the pump itself from the frame (basically a rubber mount). You'll still be able to hear the pump, but it won't have the steel in your chassis to use as a speaker cone.
