Could you weigh in on how this looks?

I want to put this...



in this...



and it will look something like this...





I already have the tank and yes it is massive. Inside is a working fuel pump which i need for my tbi 350 and a working sender. Ideally i could purchase a smaller custom tank but that would cost at least another 600 bucks. I plan to remove the spare tire crossmember and replace it with a reciever hitch at the very back of the frame. I plan to paint the tank black so it blends in a little better. Hopefully the reciever hitch will hide it a litte better too. The bumper may get tucked up a little tighter depending on what looks best.

What do you guys think? Is it tolerable enough looking at least for a while? The tank will have about 7" of ground clearance which is couple inches more than my suspension travel and is just a bit above my scrub line.

With all the extra cost for a different tank and pump, i would probably start looking at converting the tbi over to a carb and use a mechanical pump.
