Pressure will be in excess of 35 psi, too much for a carburetor without a pressure regulator.

Ive got a Bowler Tomcat with a Holly carb on and that runs on an inline Facet fuel pump the same as when running normal carbs on a v8.

And just leave the EFi pump in there, redundant?

They aren't instantly interchangeable.  the plkastic tank had the high filler and different mounts for a start.

Cool, let us know how you get on with that, it might be a useful mod as steel tanks all rust and the plastic one is bigger.

Is the plastic tank fitted to RRC the same those fitted to discovery and hangs about 2" inches below the chassis?

No, not quite.  It's a better fit on the RRC and sits higher, I guess there is more room for it somewhere else with the RRC being longer.
