Return-Style Fuel Conversion

Return-Style Fuel Conversion
So I will probably have to change from a returnless system to a return style once I get my new setup (shooting for 800rwhp if that tells you anything).
What I have in mind is dual in tank pumps with -8 off each to a single -10 Y in the bucket, then a -10 bulkhead fitting on top of the factory bucket, and a -6 for the return. -10 line from the tank to a fuel filter, then -10 line from the filter to the FPR (aeromotive 13101), and a Y from the -10 out of the FPR to dual -8 to the back of each rail (professional products 10614).
My issue right now is if I can use the factory bucket for the bulkhead fittings. Obviously I would get rid of the evap and factory fuel connector, but would I be able to use bulkhead fittings and have it seal completely with the factory bucket? If not, are there any aftermarket buckets available?

i have my wiring coming through a small grommet where the evap sensor was on the gas tank.
IMO instead of running 2 pumps. i would just get the single 044 pump . thats what i have now
i also have the PP fuel rails and aeromotive bypass reg -6 feed -6 return

I have a 2005 bucket and there is plenty of room to add a #6 fitting. A #10 is another story. Keep us updated.
