A1000 with stock plastic tank???

I'm putting a plastic tank on my iroc and replacing the pump while it's out. I'm trying to decide to use a inline aeromotive a1000 with all braided fuel lines to the fire wall or a dual in tank walbro pumps. Im still running fuel exhaust on the car so I don't know where I could mount the pump without be in the way of the exhaust. Any advice would be appreciated I'm trying to get the car running asap.

Them A1000 pumps are LOUD and Im not a fan of external pumps anyways they dont last as long as internals so... twin in tank gets my vote

A1000's are designed for sumped tanks and come with a long list of requirements for use with stock senders

IMHO, keep it in-tank or switch to a fuel cell

Thanks for the info. I'm going to use the 4th gen tank with dual walbro pumps.
