I would think the best way would be to run the tanks serially.  That is, connect the pressure line from your exhaust to the pressure fitting on one tank, and the fuel line from that tank to the pressure fitting on the next tank, and then from the fuel fitting on that tank to the carb.

You would either want both tanks to be level, or have the tank closest to the carb be lower than the one further away.

Note that this would never be legal for racing.

it would add a whole wack of weight to the car, not to mention ruin the setup and handling characteristics of it, they put the single tank  in that spot there for a reason.
