I've always heard the 5/16ths is too small for a big block.I would replace the gas tank. have you seen the stainless steel tanks? I love mine and they are a little more money but worth it to me.$199.99 Dewayne
Fuel line for 396 BB in 68 Camaro? Also, Fuel Tank...
Not sure if this is the right forum for a fuel related question, but here it goes...
I will be converting my 68 camaro from a 307 small block to a mild 396 Big Block.I was wondering if you guys know if I will have to run the full 3/8" inch fuel line from front to rear for sure? Also the new 3/8" fuel tank sending unit line too?
Ive heard that an original 5/16" inch line could possibly starve that motor for fuel.
What do you guys think?
Another question I have is on replacing the fuel tank.
Since I already have the tank out of the car, and I am putting in a new motor...is it worth it to replace the old original fuel tank with a new one?
I took out the seding unit and it looks like the tank is pretty dirty inside with some possible rust...
Classic industries sells the Zinc plated repro gas tanks for $120. To have my tank cleaned out by a radiator shop, it would be around $70.
