tank
Who is doing your tank? Look to the left under Ricks Hot Rod Shop as their tanks are first rate and run a very big Aeromotive A1000 pump. That is what I have and I can get you some photos if you like. 21st CMS to the left also does tanks in aluminum and stainless.
All of your questions depends what the answers are to other questions, is that confusing enough.
If you are going to use a stock tank and modify it, depends on if you are running an intank pump or an external pump. The easiest thing to do if you are modifying a tank and it is a low horsepower deal is use an inline pump and a stock pick-up and sending unit for a 69 ss 350 car as the return is built into the sending unit. Make sure you vent the tank or use a vented cap.
The draw back to using an external pump is heat(pump getting hot in traffic in the middle of the summer) and noise but ease in service.
Intank pump will run cooler, quieter and a more clean installation, but a PITA to service as it involves dropping the tank. Also not the easiest to put into a stock tank.
Hard to baffel a stock tank so fuel slosh/starvation is a problem if you are going to go screaming around corners.
I believe on one of Mark Stielow's cars he put a sump in a stock tank and used an external pump...may have been the Red Witch.
Not sure if this helps are not.
