One of my projects for this summer is going to be to swap to a cell in order to switch to a 4-link... sooo this is my plan for my fuel system, see if it seems ok.
Adding a 20 gallon Aluminum fuel cell behind the axle. It has a sump and 2 -8AN fittings for the feed, 1 -8AN fitting for the vent and 1 -8AN fitting for the return. Granted it will take some cutting and fabbing to get it to work but it is doable.

I will be using a Walbro 255 for one of the external pumps. I am choosing the walbro because they are relatively inexpensive and they are reliable. Eventually i will be adding a second pump either another walbro or a bosch 044 triggered by hobbs switch if i go FI or WOT switch if i stay NA.
Next will be a -8 one-way check valve from summit racing.
Then half way up on the frame rail a -8 summit racing fuel filter.
The feed will be all -8 braided steel lines and fittings...
I am going to be using a Aeromotive 13129 fuel pressure regulator. The regulator is -6, or should i get the Aeromotive 13101 which is -10??
That will feed the stock rails, until i decide to swap out the rails for aftermarket ones...
The return will be all -6 braided steel lines and fittings.
I will also be adding a relay kit for the pump with 10 gauge wiring.
did i forget anything, does this setup sound solid at least for my current setup?

Sounds good. Check with Mikefskspeed on tech. He can get you way better prices on better fittings, filters, and your pump than summit.
BDRACING has the best price on cells and they have the coolest name. Broke Dick Racing
