Default fuel tank

I am going to put a carburated ls1 into my 01 camaro. It is stripped so I thought this would be the cheapest and easiest way to go. It will be a race only car. My question is does anyone make a fuel tank that will work with a low preasure pump. I searched about it and found that some people are using the stock tank, but I am confused on how to do this. Also I have seen tanks put in the back under the rear hatch, but I dont know if that is NHRA legal?

Get a stock metal tank from a 4th gen and have a radiator shop weld a sump in the bottom of it. Then run AN lines to an electric pump, regulator, and engine. Wont have to worry about any kind of fuel starvation issues with a hard launch, and plumbing will be very straight forward.

You can use the stock tank but you would have to put a sump in it.

Cool! I guess have them also weld a plate over the big hole in the top where the old pump went in? One more thing will they do that since it had fuel in it, I mean wouldnt it be dangerous to weld?

Thats why you take it to a radiator shop so they can use water/chemicals and blast all the gunk/fuel fumes out of there before they do the welding.
