Agreed with OCM and Formula that the way to do this right and once is to go with the Tanks Inc setup.

The first gen F-body tank is a nice piece that looks factory. Don't skim on the fuel sending unit though, spend the little extra for the floatless sender, or for even more accuracy, get one of the fancy LiDar senders. -8 feed and return as stated.

I run my -8 lines along the passenger side of the car, in the same location as the original fuel line/s. You can either do as Formula mentions if you want to try and retain a more stock look, or you can also run the lines up the firewall to the regulator. Yet another option is to run the regulator near the tank and run a single line forward. Lots of options and none of them are predominantly right or wrong.

This isn't the cheapest way to do it, but if you go with something like a Walbro 255, you'll support over 600 hp, won't run the bowls dry at WOT and should you ever decide to move to EFI of some kind, all you need to do is change the spring in the regulator.
