Re: My 69 $100K Project ...

NEXT QUESTION ...

Need to relocate the gas tank to the rear ... The one that got here from LMC doesn't work ... I'm now running fuel injection ... I'm leaning towards RicksTanks ...

Need some ideas, photos and/or sources to get something done ... Needs an IN / OUT / Filler Neck / Breathing Outlet / Sending Unit.

Thanks!!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I'd go with the Rick's Vapor Worx tank if I were you. They are perfect for fuel injection. Alot of benefits other vendors don't offer with their tanks. Rick's is creme de la creme though...very expensive. I have one for my '72 Chevelle. Cost me $1500. But, it only cost me that much because of the custom dimensions due to a custom frame. I'm sure for stock dimensions on our trucks it won't be near that much. Didn't mean to scare you. PM me and I will put you in direct contact with the guy that does the wiring for the tanks for Ricks. He will answer any and all of your questions about how the "Vapor Worx" tanks work.
