Sorry to jump in and answer all your questions but i just finished kinda the exact same swap as you.

I used a Tanks inc, in tank pump with corvette External filter/Regulator. with my stock tank.

I used the external Walbro 255. It was easy/works well.
The sticky at the top of "Conversions"/"Hall of Fame Threads" by Olly has a diagram & parts. I used Russell fittings rather than the barbed fittings which Olly used.

Use a corvette fuel filter/regulator. Then run your feed line to the rail.

na man thank you for that. alot of people get annoyed of doin that. thats why i love car people we're always down to help other people and about how much did that run u? this is sort of a budget build so lookin for the cheapest way to do it but at the same time for it to work well

The Tanks Inc is 215 new, i paid 150.00 from craigslist but it was new. it does require some cutting to the stock tank, so it would need to be boiled out or filled with water before you do any cutting. you really only need to cut a 4inch hole in the top of your tank.

The corvette Reg/filter is around 30.00 to 50.00.

You can use an external fuel pump, but it might need to be gravity fed, im not sure on that one. most likely you would have to sump your tank for that.

THere are many options for getting the fuel to the rail.
Steel braid
Aluminum tube
Nylon
and more

I Used Steel braid, it cost around 200 for all the fittings and hose.

I used the walbro, corvette regulator and summit fabric braided line and summit An fittings. the braided is cheaper than SS, but not much more than autozone FI hose.

I still have the stock 69 tank, but put a hollowed out fuel filter inline between the tank and pump inlet to act as a fuel "capacitor". I'll repost in a few weeks to let everyone know if i have any starvation issues under cornering/acceleration.

FYI, fuel flow to the walbro pump is in the direction going towards the electrical connectors. --otherwise you get fuel tank bubbles

good luck

Fuel tank bubbles, that would have been a good laugh at the time.

Tanks inc kit and we do a complete line fitting kit with the Corvette filter/regulator either to factory LS rails or our rails.
