I run a sumped tank with one line running from the tank to a (magna flow Y, they have _an_ fittings already on them so you save some $$$ and get alittle better flow). From the Y I ran two smaller lines to my two external walbro’s. Then just mirror the same steps back into one line and take that to the front. Oh I also used a inline filter before the first Y so its nice and easy to get to.

I don’t have any info on f-body sumped tanks, mine is of course a fox body tank. I do know that if the sump is wrong, and its not baffled corectly you will have problems. So if the company thats making them for f-bodys dosn’t have there shit toghter stay away. I like sumped tanks and external pumps for alot of reasons. Such as the sump is at the back bottom of the tank, so when you get on it where does the gas go??Into the sump. and its a snap to change pumps, also its not a biggie but the pumps arn’t setting in your gas heating it up(I don’t think intank pumps put of that much heat, I’m just messin with yah).
