We offer a race fuel tank that is completely ready and setup properly for external sump fuel system. Dual pumps are a better street setup to 1000rwhp race tank and external is better track setup for big HP.

You would need to weld in a baffled sump to your tank without it leaking. clean, acid the inside and seal it so it will not rust from welding.

Fuel Cell's aren't particular to LS1/F-Body cars so look on google and other forums for some ideas.

If you can Tig Aluminum, you must have some sort of fabrication qualifications that would enable you to build what you're asking.

Here's a fuel cell for a buggy http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/project.../photo_03.html

they're using an internal pump. If you want to use an external pump you would need to sump it.

There's some great info in thrs thread here:

Here's some info on a sump...just apply the ideas to your "cell" instead of this gas tank.
