Anybody have any info or insight for me for building a gas tank for my 67 camaro. It`s LS1 powered, fuel injection of course. I can use the new stock tank I have for the dimensions, but I need some info on how to do the baffling to keep the fuel pump from starving. A friend that works with stainless steel sheetmetal told me he could build a tank, free of charge, if I could give him all the design measurements. Thanks

Makoshark,
I just built my stainless tank a few weeks ago. I work in Memphis so I would be happy to let you check it out. I would also be curious as to which shop your friend works at (If in the area).

I built my tank to go in the factory location, It is baffled and also has a sump with 1/2" npt fittings and provisions for a return line. It uses the factory fill location and also has a separate vent line. I have pressure checked it, and all I need to do is shear some straps and install it. I am pretty pleased with the results.
