The original fuel tank with be higher than the surge tank so the fuel will flow (by gravity) into the surge tank and the surge tank will have the proper setup (internal fuel pump), return line etc.
Will this type of setup work? To replace the original fuel tank I would need to remove the body so I want to avoid doing that so if anyone has any suggestions for any alternatives that would work.
I would like to use the Holley Sniper EFI Returnless Kit model: 510-550-510D
Currently I am running a Ford 460 engine with a Quickfuel SS-750 carburettor in my cobra but would like the convenience of an EFI system.
Schematically, I believe what you're proposing would look like this diagram: https://docs.google.com/presentation...it?usp=sharing

I don't know how you'll get the surge tank low enough that it can be gravity fed by the fuel tank, but that could easily be solved by using a low pressure pump to feed the surge tank from the fuel tank (page 2).
