So a 60 psi inline pump with free flow of 110 gph is def gonna feed it correct? What about regulators...shouldn't it be pre set to correct pressure or do i need a regulator? On top of that, how hard would it be to run the return line to the tank. I wont need to add vents or anything like that will i? And last but not least, the radiator setup, would any electric fan setup fit the connectors or am i better to source an actual lt-1 setup. Sorry for all the questions but this is my first retro swap and i'm alittle out of my element. Thanks for the help guys.

That pump you mentioned sounds sufficient. Just use the stock LT1 regulator on the rail. Don't think running a return line will be too difficult, just secure it to the feed line and trace it all the way back to the tank. I'd look into seeing if a vented gas cap would be required.
