Early Classic Enterprises
 
Hello,

I own a 1966 GMC Suburban. We are putting a LS1 in it. I've been looking for a replacement gas tank and ran across Early Classic Enterprises gas tanks. Has anyone used there EFI gas tank on burb? I see were Boyd's Welding is has been used on a couple Burbs in the forum.

I ordered a gas tank for a 1990 suburban.It will allow you to put pump in the tank. The tank fit in there very nicely.

Thanks

Thanks Lucifer,

I guess you had to move some frame rails? Did the fill match up to the fill door ok?

The fill lined up fine. The only cross member I moved was the rear one. Its a 31 gallon tank so its worth the effort.

Thanks Lucifer,

Did it require any changes to the interior floor?

lucifer 02-24-2014 09:18 PM

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 
Nope in fact there is 1 inch of insulation on the
Bottom of the floor and still no interference

Thanks to bad. Can you post some pictures of the rear of the burb? I want to see how the tank hangs down.

Nope dropped spindles. 3inch drop coils in front, lowering blocks with 4 inch drop coils in rear. I added air shocks for help when loaded.

Nice setup. Definitely have to remember this if I ever go EFI. :)

Thanks for sharing the info!

red310055 02-25-2014 12:23 PM

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 
if you can afford to go EFI you should. I love it, I had it done on 55 and the thing runs great. I would recommend Speartech for you wiring harness.
