Twin 40's fuel setup

Currently my engine has the carb fuel lines which are 6mm and also it has a single lift pump in the tank supplying my carb. When I move to twin 40's I was planning on running an additional facet pump to up the pressure.
But which facet should I go for?
Do I need to increase the fuel line diameter to 8mm as used on the big block engines?
Will I need a regulator up by the 40's in the bay? And will this regulator use the return line back to the tank?
And for the wiring, can I just run an additional wire from my lift pump down to the facet pump or will I need to run a thicker wire from the fusebox due to more current being drawn?
Cheers,
Matt

Which pump will be best, I was going to go for the small square one but I've seen people use the bigger cylindrical one for 40's?
Yeah I'll run a new wire just to play it safe then
Any idea on the importance of using 8mm fuel pipe?
Cheers
