Recommendations for fuel system?
I'm putting an LQ4/T56 combo into my 66 Chevelle. I was wondering if anyone can give some experience-based advice on what to do for a fuel system. I am looking at 2 options:
1) SPI tank from rockauto.com, replace pump with Walbro 255 and bolt it in.
2) Buy stainless fuel tank, install Robbmc fuel sender/lines with external fuel pump (don't know what kind just yet).
Right now I want to get the engine in and run it with LS1 intake and possibly a better camshaft. Eventually I would like to turbo the sucker but that's at least a year away. From what I can tell, either option is going to cost about the same, I just don't want to have to re-do the entire fuel system if I turbocharge it later....
Any advice????
Thanks for any input!

Install a 99 - 02 Fuel Pump Module in the stock tank, with a up graded after market pump. Later when you add the turbo add a second fuel pump.

If you go turbo after and not spend money twice, like im doing. Although i might only run my car w/o a turbo a month or so.
Here is my setup, still sitting in a box till i finish my frame.
RCI fuel cell
-8an stainless braied line
aeromotive 100micron inline -10an filter
bosch 044 pump
aeromotive 10 micron inline -10an filter
-8an braided lines
Fast fuel rails ran in series [fuel goes to the back of one rail, then out the front to a crossover line, into other rail then out]
-6an braided line
Aeromotive boost referenced regulator
-6an line return back to fuel cell.
I was told this set up should be good to around 900-1000hp, im only going for 600 max. The motor will be a TT 5.3l
