Default 1969 Camaro Fuel Tank options

I am building a 1969 camaro that will be mini tubbed. I want to build it using all factory or close to oem as possible. Its a ls7 with a cam swap makes about 625hp and 605tq I want to put Nos on it for another 175hp. I got the factory dry sump mounted between the rad and the factory spot for the battery. The oem tank with the fuel injection pump in tank wont work because of the mini tubbs. Will a factory corvette z-06 fit in and work or what other Ideas are out there?? Or is there anyone out there that builds a oem style tank for a mini tubbed car?? thanks

We have Ricks Hot Rods Tanks made in stainless steel with internal fuel pump, hang in the factory location and use the factory filler arrangment.

SO any one else with suggestions and what are the prices thanks..

As long as your adding nitrous and dedicated NOS fuel from another pump. You can get by with a in tank Walbro pump. $1100 for the tank, sender and pump, mounting straps, shipped in the lower 48.

You said you were running a wet shot which would mean a dedicated nOS fuel system. A dry shot would relie on the injectors to ramp up for the nitrous, which would toss you into a bigger pump class.

I do not think you will find a factory pump capable of handling all you have one one pump.
