Re: 1968 C10 5.3 swap, the easy way.

I used a Boyd Welding aluminum tank with in tank pump. Used summit AN 90's coming out of tank and AN tube nuts with 3/8 aluminum tubing and summit AN to quick connect to connect to Corvette filter regulator. I mounted all this to top of tank. From filter/reg I used fuel repair tube from auto zone. Grazed on AN fitting and connected short section of braided stainless fuel line to 3/8 steel fuel line along frame rail. Used another 1 1/2 foot section of braided to connect to fuel rail on engine with russel fitting. Good luck. Jim

I agree to use the boyd welding EFI tank. What I am going to to is use the non efi tank and cut a hole and drop in a LS1 Fuel pump assembly to save money and use the factory quick disconnects. I get the fuel pump ass. used off ebay for 50$. My intake has a built in FPR so I had to tun a return line back to the tank and ran a generic fuel filter in line that uses quick disconnects.
