I wouldn't go through all the work to mod your tank to make a more expensive pump when you can get an '87 tank and sender and add a higher pressure pump (Walbro255 would be a good choice). You would then use the Vette filter/regulator. You couldn't use that filter with an'04 pump anyway since they're internally regulated.

For the linkage you should be able to use the factory parts with some slight modification. Once you get the engine in you can hold it in position and see how far off it is.
