Default Fuel Tank / Fuel Cell

I am building a motor for my mustang and i dont really want to get a fuel cell right now, but im not sure on what to do with the two return lines in the stock tank. i dont know if it will match upo with the new engine. I Herd there is a tank that is the saem size as the stock tank but it has a sump and the bottom where the lines go into it, where can i find that tank? if not where can i get a good fuel cell. i would like to just keep the stock tank in for now unless i have to switch it out.

They sell a sump kit that you can put on your factory tank. You will have to pull and drain your tank, get it VERY clean on the inside and mark the spot for the sump and cut out the metal. If you don't know how to weld you can take it to a welding shop and let them weld it on. The sump costs around $40-$50

I saw them in Holcomb Motorsports (Lumberton, N.C.) catalog the other day.
Iwould research real careful about getting someone to weld it as a lot of welders won't do a fuel tank........
