I guess i got a few more days to think about it its just spending 500 bucks on a tank when i can spend approx 30 bucks plus the walbro pump is really a big incentive.

 

Where are you getting a tank that fits your car for $30?

How is the Walbro pump installed in the $30 tank?

Just drilling a hole in your stock sending unit doesn’t work as the return fuel squirting into the tank wil aerate the fuel in the tank. The return line should extend to the bottom of the tank.

You can use an external pump and bypass regulator along with a dual line sending unit.

 

??? .... E, $500 gets you almost everything you need for your entire fuel system

Also consider this E, your building a 69' Camaro ... these are always a valuable commodity 'IF' you do them right. This doest mean you have to make it a $100k pro touring car, BUT If you start mashing parts together from different vehicles the value of your car will drop like a stone ... just something to consider

Holley Stainless Steel Tanks work awesome!!!

 

I can promise you that you will almost always 100% regret going cheap or cutting corners in the end. Every single time I did I ended up doing it over again later.

 

I'd like to see a picture of how well that fit under the car.

I know people do LS swaps on the "cheap" with junkyard pull out drive trains, But I thought the Tanks Inc. setup was still getting off cheap when doing an LS swap.

 

Just because their 'inexpensive' doesn't mean that they are cheap ... remember its simply only a gas tank, guys that spend $1000's on a Stainless tank do so unnecessarily. I'm sure John will comment, we've sold BIG dollar Camaro's with Tanks Inc. systems and trust me 99.9% of buyers couldn't care less

Rockauto sells the Spectra GM32BFI tank for $281 and that includes the fuel pump. Did a 69 LS1 swap last year and it's worked fine for over a year now. If you would feel more comfortable, you can swap the fuel pump for a better version but so far I've had zero issues with it.

You could just buy the external fuel pump kit I’m selling in the classifieds and drill a return in your sending unit and call it good.

 

I paid ~$230 for a Spectra GM32BFI tank when I installed the Gen 6 454 in my 69 that doesn't have a provision for a mechanical fuel pump. It works and looks excellent. It's $281 at Rock Auto right now.

 

The $30 tank was due to the 40% off sale at pick a part plus you would have to consider the cost of the walbro pump i didnt go through with it as i took into consideration everything that was mentioned and as everyone lets do it right the first time.......... i guess ill have to wait a few more years once again these LS swaps aint cheap but i guess ill be on the hunt on ebay for some decent bargains.

Thanks Guys!!!!

 

The 94 caprice tank has an internal pump with vent and return line from what i read its all 3/8 line you swap the original internal pump with a walbro 255 to give you the right amount of fuel pressure.

 

I also like the Tanks Inc option. Will be going with them for my conversion

 

I just bought a Tanks. For my 66 el camino build. Its a no brainer to me. Got it from MCB.
