      I used 1/4 NPT to AN-6 adapter fittings at the pump. My fuel lines connect from there to a corvette ls1 style fuel filter/FPR with push on AN-6 fittings and from there to hardline on the car. I used Russell Twist-Lok hose and fittings.

      I'd rather not mess with my current tank. May save some coin but still have to modify it.

      Rather swap the whole thing. I wasn't aware they had everything to do the swap completely..I should ju sf the call them

      Thanks guys

      i know they are a bit pricey but i went with a Ricks/vaporworx tank, also have the fitech setup. Uses gen5 camaro fuel pump assembly, so no need for additional filter or a return line. I have one single line (techafx PTFE blackwrap hose) straight from tank to the fitech unit. I liked the fact that i have minimal connections (possible failure points), and have late model car reliability with my tank setup. Went with the II much fuel vent and called it done.

      Precision. Did you get everything through Rick's?

      If that's the case I'm sold on what you got. I want a one time type of deal

      I'm in the market for a efi tank as well.

      National Parts Depot sells a efi tank and in tank pumps.

      Seems like a decent set up and being local is nice.

      Or tanks inc.

      My car is just a cruiser, 69 camaro 396, getting a 5 speed conversion as soon as it arrives from SST

      408maro,
      No, i purchased the tank from Matts Classic Bowties, even though he is in CA, he was able to get me a great price which countered our "tax" issue (cheaper than jegs or summit), he's close enough where you can go pick it up in person too and save on shipping...when time permits you can see the car and how i ran everything (pretty basic though), as i too am in San Jose....GO SHARKS!!!

      I have the tanks kit and the fit and pump work great the fuel level sensor takes a long time to respond. Overall I am very happy with it.
      I use the vette regulator and filter with ptfe -6 lines.

      408maro, I also bought a vaporworx tank. Great piece and minimal connections. I usually buy stuff through MCB or other vendors. I was living in California at the time and it was cheaper directly through Rick's and he had free shipping compared to Matts. Either way you won't go wrong.

      I am going to get the tanks inc tank and also pick up the ls line kit they offer to go from the tank to efi. Pretty sure that should be good..

      Thanks for all the input

      Spectre EFI gas tanks are also an "efi" tank that has been used by many across different forums. It's basically a stock replacement tank with a built in fuel bucket and electric pump. There has been mixed reviews over the years but these gas tanks use Walbro pumps like most others. A Walbro 450 can easily be swapped in if you want a high flowing pump. Just make sure to check that the fuel pump sock is properly attached if anyone decides to purchase one. It's a common issue that the filter sock isn't attached correctly.

      Another option if you are looking for more modularity, and a bunch more quality over the TANKSINC pump setup.

      1/4" NPT Ports both top and bottom. With an Aeromotive pump, the jakefab "Fuelpuck" install kit, and a TANKSINC Tank, you end up with a nice high quality setup for a great value. These bolt right into the TANKSINC tanks.

      RIck's RestoMod tank

      I decided on a Rick's RestoMod tank that is already set-up for a 5th gen Camaro fuel pump module and a separate level sender. I'm not making crazy HP (400HP/400TQ) so Carl at vaporworx said I can run a return-less fuel system using an LS3 Camaro module with a 4th gen pressure bypass valve. This is a mechanical system (not pwm) and I bought all conversion parts and electrical connector from Carl. The Rick's tank comes with the fuel pump mounting ring, tank straps (no hardware), and a filler neck. One thing I'm not too keep about is the tank has no internal baffles. Maybe this won't be a problem with the LS3 fuel bucket but I'm a little concerned about fuel slosh, and fuel leaking out the filler neck under hard acceleration. Here's some pics:
