i made it i wanted the least fitting so a use male AN steel for port feed bungs . you can buy sump in a kit from moroso . i done many for guys around here by my shop over the years . that was a new tank as the old tank was on it way out . i can do a new tank up for you but cost of shipping would be alot . find a old guy around you that fixed gas tanks an radiators . for your engine build i would run a 3/8 steel or AN 8 would do .you want the least amount of fittings you can use . if you need any fast bends us hi flow fitting no hardware street L try to not use any 90 bend fittings if so look at hi flow many brands to pick from do not use much stock rubber gass/pcv hose. only were you need it to flex .on your build mechanical pump use a 110or 130 gph pumps. i like Carters brand like m6901 or m4891 do not buy some no name cheap chrome junk pump. the tank sump would not be needed . take off the filter screen off the stock sender/pick up and find a 3/8 one. if not the smaller tube on pick up in tank can be open up for a 3/8 tube welded or brazed in the new pickup in your old sender body .you do want to use a light weight fuel pump push rod made from tubing fuel pump rod like comp# 4616. cast iron cam core or #4607 bronze tip for steel core cams. make sure you have the tank vented good . this setup will work good to 500hp ez . if you do weld on your old tank have it boiled out .make sure it is very clean and you can not smell any gas
