Agree, I’d want some sort of sump in this system. I’d use a walbro 255 in a tanks Inc tank with a bypass regulator.
I would run a regulator like this.

You could actually run this in a “corvette” setup with the regulator in the rear with a short return line and the supply to the carb in a dead head style.
