Buy a $60 sump and weld it in. Well, if you have a 98 that is. Otherwise you could swap it with a 98 tank then weld it in.

I coulda told you that, you tard! haha yes sump a 98 metal tank and swap er in there. I coulda swore I saw someone use some bulkhead union fittings to sump a plastic tank, but I'd imagine that would leak.

Why will it only work with a 98? the 98 is metal huh, why couldnt i get a few fittings like a chase nipple type thing(electrical part example) for it to work?

You can use a bulkhead fitted to the top of your existing pump assembally. I've seen a few picks of that floating around. I opted for the sumped 98 model tank. Bought it in the for sale section for $100.

You can run a bulkhead in the bottom of the tank. It wont leak. A sump will be better though.
