Origional gas tank?

[mitchell72]

Hey guys, I am seriously considering the swap. I want to keep my truck as original as possible. Can I use the the original fuel tank with the swap? Are there any issues here? Thanks. P.S. My truck has a wood bed and Don't want to do a fuel cell for aesthetic reasons.

It'll be loud/annoying with either a fuel pump in the cab inside the tank or even having the pump be directly underneath the floorboards on the frame rail I would think.

Too loud.... well most think [so I've heard].... most eventually swap to the rear mounted tank with either a rear mounted pump or an rear in-tank pump... (best of both worlds).

Most figure once you go LS swap.... originality is kinda

Rear mounted +1 but leave the tank mounts in the cab and you can always go back to OEM.

I did the rear tank for both baffles/quietness and safety but left my in-cab tank mounts alone and intact. Figure if they take the LS swap out... they can take the rear mounted tank out too.

Rear mounted tank with in-tank Aeromotive Stealth 340 - Should be quiet enough to not get annoyed.

Yes you can. I altered my 1972 c10 sending unit for a return line. Pm your number and I'll text you a pic Or I'll post a pic tomorrow. Good luck. Clark

Dec010974 I believe is running a carb'd LQ4 setup and his fuel pressures may be ALOT lower than a normal LS-fuel-rail. (Holley Blue = 9 PSI @ 110 GPH)

Alot quieter moving the fuel at such a lower PSI than 60+ PSI for a EFI swap.

Bingo 66lsx! Give the handsome young man the prize. Ladies and gentlemen another prize won at the county fair. He won a fuzzy teddy bear.
