The FIA tank sits above the rear suspension, the 427 tank is behind it. They share no parts and are a completely different design.
The tap on the FIA tank is on the center/bottom. It's difficult to put a return line in any place but proximately close to that one. The other alternative is to install a separate tank somewhere that takes a feed from the main tank and runs two lines to the front: feed and return. There's some room behind the left rear wheel that might be OK for a custom tank.

I would seriously consider doing THIS. I don't know how to do it but the reasoning is solid. I had difficulty with EFI on my 427, even with the baffled ERA tank. It wasn't sufficient without the in-tank pump to keep up once fuel levels got below about half full. Having a surrogate tank with the pump in it would mean you always have enough fuel for instant demand needs.

Take a look at Holley's new EFI in tank pump. It is designed to replace your current pickup and does not require a return line. It also has a hydramat to prevent fuel starvation.

Thanks Chicagowil! I also came across this from FiTech. For those who might need to use a secondary tank. Holds 1/2 gallon of gas. The Force Fuel connects to a stock mechanical or electric fuel pump then supplies the EFI system with high pressure through the use of an internal 340-LPH pump.
