Why not? You can:
1) run a base isolator shield between the carb and intake
2) insulate your fuel lines with heat wrap material
3) install a cool can if you're that concerned about warm fuel

Looking at your pics in the gallery, you're feeding the beast from the firewall side, so I don't see where hot fuel is an issue?

I believe you can also use a fuel pressure regulator without the need for a return line. I suppose the return line reduces the stress on the electric pump, but a lot of guys don't run return lines and I haven't read a lot about the need for that on this forum.

I'd also ditch that glass, see-through fuel filter. That's a weak link on so many levels.
