First step on the EFI project

[My427stang]

I didn't take any pictures along the way, sorry. but here is today's finished product

I used a Tanks Inc universal 255 lph in tank pump. Bought a new repop 22 gal tank and sunk the pickup/pump/baffle assembly in.

Pretty easy, cut a 4.5 inch hole, cut the pickup frame to put the baffle and pump at the proper depth (bottom of the pan) then weld a ring to the inside of the tank.



Pressure tested the tank at about 2.5 psi and all is good. I will still run the stock pickup for the gauge sending unit, but plan to cap off the line in the middle with an AN fitting/cap in case I ever need to add something later.

Game plan is AN hard line to bulkhead fittings through the trunk floor, then hardline from the bulkhead fittings up to just before the fuel rail.

I am on the fence of doing a regulated return before the rails or after with a cooler, but regardless I will put a accumulator/damper in the system.

Game plan in the next 18 months or so is to build this same motor but supercharged, so the EFI is a stepping stone for the big one.



Working the intake now, already set of for EFI, but added a feed for the PCV and a second water temp sender so my stock gauge would still work.

More to come!
