Default Fuel system thoughts

Anyone have a fuel system plan that I may be able to implement on my 79'? I have about a $800 budget and i was thinking about a new tank and lines and pump. Any suggestions to what manufacturer i should go with. My 5.0 is carburated.

I would have to go with the above plan, should be able to do it for way less than $800.
I like Holley pumps as they can be rebuilt very cheaply.
Make sure the filter you use is at least equal to what the pump can put out, i.e. if pump flowsw 110 gallons per hour, make sure the filter can flow that much too.
Another type of fuel line that could be used (for a lot less$$) is aluminum, Summit racing sell it in 3/8 or 1/2. It uses regular pipe fittings from the hardware store.......
