Using a Rock Valley tank in mine. I would recommend a Rick's tanks though (pricey but nice) or you could use a 94-96 impala tank (some modification but cheaper). Didn't you post on lt1tech.com at one time? I am in Crestview.

We used the stock tank, an inline electric fuel pump (I think the Mallory 140) to get the fuel to the front of the car, and than a supercar engineering anti-starvation kit to bump up the pressure to 45 lbs at the engine bay.

I've got an external Kinsler pump with pre and post pump filters with a stock tank that has been setup for the return line. No problems other than the pump is really loud. I'll switch to an in-tank pump (and tank) when I convert to an LSx in the coming years. Rick's or DSE is the way to go for those.

I've fitted the pump that came with the engine in a stainless tank ,that way you know the pump is matched to the engine.

I was kinda hoping I wouldn't have to come off the $$$ for the stainless tank from DSE or Rick's. I could get an impala tank easily for next to nothing. I guess I'm just being cheap.:slap: What mods would I need to do to the impala tank? Thanks for all the replies. I just bought a complete 96 Z28. Going to use everything I can off it. Scott
