I used a Tanks Inc unit. It fit nicely, although if I had to do it again, I would mount it a little higher as I think it will be visible from behind. I am running an Art Morrison chassis, so your fit may not be the same.

I talked to tanks inc. They have a model based on mustang tank.. it has chamber for future EFI. And proper 5 hole for gm sender. It however would require rear support to move. I am working with a site vendor to acquire. More info to come.

what are you using for fuel lines?

slow progress. i ordered a different filler neck to get it coming straight up. i will then try to raise it an inch if can.
now i need to decide on fuel lines. input would be gladly taken. i have an old 283. so no electric pump, the tank has a sump so fuel injection is possible in the future.
the pick up tube bolts in where a fuel pump would g. it has 3 outlets
one to be used as a suction line to inline pump or block pump.
another to be used as a return.
the third has a bab end and is intended to be used for the included rolover valve/vent.
i am thinking running flare line 3/8 from both feed and return to a bulkhed at front of tank the return plugged off. and the vent run to same bracket and up as high as possible.
any advice on a preferred "not plastic" fuel filter. maybe mounted right there at front of tank. then what line from there to existing hard fuel line to fuel pump.
i am open to criticism advice suggestions and photos of yours
my goal is to do it once.. without costing too much. i want the tank easily removable.
thanks for your time
Marty
