Sweet...I am going to get a 700 for mine soon as well. 18 mpg sounds GOOD!!

The part I hated the most was the fuel tank. I have been through 3 tanks before I got the one I have now and it works great. 93 Suburban 40 gal. tank. You have to have a return line ran back to the tank. I didn't want the factory tank with a electric fuel pump sitting behind me either so I relocated it to the bed.

I am running the stock tank, I ran a return line in to the tank next to the feed line and put a paxton pump under the cab.. You can not hear the pump at all when the engine is running... Here is an updated pic of the motor..

I didn't have all the company's that are around today to choose from. I had to work with what I had.
Street & Performance was the only company doing these swaps at the time. That's why I have the V-6 computer running a V-8 now it was the cheap-o way to get what I wanted!

I am going to use the Blazer tank for mine...not sure what Cliff said about the pump but it won't bother me if it is inside the tank.

What air cleaner did you use C10addict? I am trying to decide between CAB or this type cleaner.

Andy4639 · 08-08-2008, 06:55 PM

I have the tank pump in all of mine that I have used. I just didn't want the factory tank sitting behind me with electric fuel pump in it. Nothing but a seat back between me and a big BOOM if anything ever happened!

c10addict · 08-08-2008, 08:28 PM

my air cleaner is from street and performance

I have one of Street & Performance filter housings and it's brushed aluminum. I can get pictures if someone is interested in it. I will need to clean it up before I take pictures though.
