The pan is usually what needs the notching, to clear the steering linkage. Subframe may need it too, if the front of the pan is too deep.

I'm unsure what this swap is worth to you.. if you plan to have it be more valuable, and be reliable.. or just want to get it on the road for as little cost as possible.

You can certainly use the factory fuel tank, and run the Corvette fuel filter/regulator unit I mentioned in my original post- it will require a return line but it can be short if you mount the filter/regulator at the back of the car.

From personal experience, it's not ideal to run the factory tank, because there is no baffles, and if you run under 3/8 tank and go on a sweeping turn, it may starve for fuel & stumble/lean out.
If you're good about keeping it above 1/2 tank then you shouldn't have an issue with just driving.
