Best fuel pump for the $$

Its time to get fuel to my new engine. I just did a TPI to 386 carb swap on my 87 GTA. This is my plan let me know if it sounds good...Im going to get a new gas tank and weld in a sump kit. Then have an extrenal elctric pump, and reg. But I dont know what is the best one to buy for my motor. Thats the plan but if someone has a better idea..please tell me because Im lost of how Im going to make it work..

the sump kit sounds fine, you want to put a filter on your line before the pump and if your using a return line you need a bypass regulator to run it back to the tank. the regulator i used was the Holly 12-803 BP
