Default p100 to cosworth change question

as above putting a yb cosworth in , question is the outlet from the standard fuel tank ? guessing it will need changed to suit the feed for the 044 pump , is it a case of cut and weld in ? or any ideas would be good .
also thinking about a fuel swirl pot too but will have a read up first .
thanks for any help or info

I cut and welded mine in.

edit to add:
What power are you running? Wouldnt imagine you will need a swirl pot.

yea think that's what will need to be done , and once run in and so on around 380/400 , the reason i say about the swirl pot is when the p100 was a diesel and it was under quarter of a tank coming off roundabouts the fuel would move and then starve the engine of fuel , but as its now a carb model pinto it no longer shows that as it has fuel in the bowel of the carb to feed from and so it dose not show the lack of fuel , but with the yb being injection i don't want it running lean or not having fuel to pump , so my idea is the swirl pot and maybe another small tank to act like the bowel of fuel , well that's the madness lol

You will need a swirl pot if you don't have one in your tank.
