In-Cab Gas Tank for LT1 motor swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68C10HotRod · 09-12-2009, 03:57 PM

I'm trying to do an LT1/T56 swap & need to do it as cheap as possible. The rear frame mount tank is out of my price range so I want to know if I should use the OEM tank with Venting (ECC) or can I use the 68 (non-ECC) version I currently have? Are there any special provisions besides the 3/8" pickup & the 5/16 return lines?

Trying to get as many items purchased & staged before I rip into this so anyone's help that's done an LT1 swap will help. I know there's a couple people that have but haven't found a good source for all the info so putting it together is going to create some questions.

TIA!!
