Anyone ever put a sump in the stock plastic tank? I did it on the neon and it worked great. Has this been done on an Fbody? Here's the neon job detailed out:

I am finishing up my new build and I'm going to need around 1000hp worth of fuel on E85 (1300hp reg gas). If I could get a sump like in the above pics, I could run a -10 from the sump to a really big pump with a -10 or -8 feed to the rails and a -6 return to the sump. I've never removed my tank, since I cheated and cut a hole for the Walbro install, so I don't know what the clearance is for something like this.

Yeah, I've been out of town and working 16 hour days, so I missed your post. That's funny. Anyway, it worked beautiful on the neon. It was a little overkill, but I needed more fuel and who knows what I'll do with the car later. It put down 478hp/508tq on a dynojet at a conservative 26psi on E85. That's the way I drive it every day. I figure, since I'm doing this forged motor front mount turbo thing with the SS, I could use a bit more fuel...

Well, I can tell you it works awesome in the neon. I can run that thing dry and I get no fuel starvation issues. The external pump (bosch 044) whines a bit when the tank gets low and I go around corners or stop fast, but under acceleration, all the fuel goes right to the sump.
