Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
We used a 91 Jeep Wrangler tank in ours. Fits like it grew there. Also can be ordered EFI with baffles and with an EFI ready sender setup for the 381 pump. Look up the "Silver Dollar" thread with the search function. Worked good. Tank was $90ish from Summit. Good luck!

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
Well spent most of the day scraping, spraying degreaser, wiping and spraying and even used a pressure washer that made available to me while I was there, but Im still not done need to go back tomorrow and do some sanding and more cleaning and more painting but here is what it looks like now...its getting there slowly but surely
I got a chance to open up one of the valve covers just to see what it looks like and this is what I found...looks as clean as that last engine but ! this time the year is a little different...falls inline with the 07 silverado

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
Okay I need to update this thread and post where I left off. Engine and tranny is in along with my suspension 3.5/5.5 I rebuilt my front end all new tie rods idler arm and bushings, got gas line from existing tank going but have to make a slight modification, installing my harness tonight and rewiring the whole truck this weekend...I had to step away for awhile as things got overwhelming lol it got to the point where I was dreaming about this truck, so had to just step back and rest my mind for awhile...I have to get my tranny cooler lines figured out since I got a new tranny cooler and got a different power steering cooler that other one that came with it was too awkward and would have been a pain to bolt up so I got something a bit nicer looking...so Im back on the drawing board and trying to get this thing done...here is a pic of it after the suspension I will most more stuff later
