Default moving fuel tank up >>>need help

ok search gurus. i cant find a thread on pirate or here on moving the fueltank up ...you know the one where you cut the fllor drop tank and sit it in from up top. my ? is what all would i need to change. im thinking filler neck can stay where its at once i move it up top and i can cut a hole for it to go back to where it is maybe have to shorten it little. it doesnt seem like this would be hard at all. i was wantin to see a build on it so i can get an idea of what all is involved.
