Fuel System. In tank or external? Baffling etc..

I'm at the stage in my build where I need to start putting together my fuel system. I have a 71 shortbed that i'm putting a 2006 Lq4 into.

I would like to relocate the fuel tank to the rear of the truck. Looking at options. Is it better to have an external or internal fuel pump?

My main concern with an inline pump such as a Bosch 044 is it starving due to baffling/not being able to mount it low enough for gravity to help feed it if the tank is less than 1/2 full. I do like the idea of having a pre filter and after filter on an external in line pump.

As for an internal pump, not sure how reliable they are and if they eliminate concerns for them starving for fuel.

Not sure which tank is the best option for internal and which tank is the best option for external.

I do not want a tank that is to low in the rear.

From experience what are the pros and cons to each setup?

Thanks in advance.
