Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

thats a lot of cash!!! id get a blazer tank, then you can use a sending unit from it and run a walbro pump, and it would be a lot easier I'm sure....plus cheaper... i think your running a return less system...so that would be easiest i think...and cheaper!!!

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

ya your right...brothers has a blazer style tank for $189 but the only problem is its a side fill only and I dont want to cut into my bed side

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

this is the one Im talking about...wish I could make this work

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

oops now it changed to $379 haha for that kind of money I will go with the first one

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

I had seen where someone used a hinge and put one behind the tail light

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

I saw that I think they used a caprice classic hinge door but I dont know if I would be able to find that or not...cool setup tho

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

it would help you leave your options open to tanks tho

Here is yours

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

We used a 91 Jeep Wrangler tank in ours. Fits like it grew there. Also can be ordered EFI with baffles and with an EFI ready sender setup for the 381 pump. Look up the "Silver Dollar" thread with the search function. Worked good. Tank was $90ish from Summit. Good luck!

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

Wow ! really ? thats the first I heard of that. Will it work with a long bed ? did you have to take off the bed to mount it ? Thanks for the info cant beat that price !

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

Did you use the metal or polyethylene one ?

Looking good man, thought you was pulling the engine and cleaning the bay today lol

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

Im tired this took about 4 hours I didnt get out there til about noon but tomorrow is another day...Im a little concerned about all my other wiring I decided to go all new not just the engine harness but for the headlights, gauges, and all that stuff...any Ideas where to get ?

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

I think I've seen places that sell the head and tailght harnesses, but it's been awhile, I thought about doing the same thing, since I was in there, but once I got behind the loom and the wires are great so wasn't worried about it

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

yeah mine were pretty beat up... I figured got this far and dont need a fire down the road.:devil:

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

Oh !!! haha Im totally out of it, I ended up going with speedway motors they had a 20 circuit harness that looks like it will work...thanks for pointing that out and again thank you truckdude I apreciate you trying to answer that for me.

Re: Need advice: LS ENGINE SWAP
 

Okay I need to update this thread and post where I left off. Engine and tranny is in along with my suspension 3.5/5.5 I rebuilt my front end all new tie rods idler arm and bushings, got gas line from existing tank going but have to make a slight modification, installing my harness tonight and rewiring the whole truck this weekend...I had to step away for awhile as things got overwhelming lol it got to the point where I was dreaming about this truck, so had to just step back and rest my mind for awhile...I have to get my tranny cooler lines figured out since I got a new tranny cooler and got a different power steering cooler that other one that came with it was too awkward and would have been a pain to bolt up so I got something a bit nicer looking...so Im back on the drawing board and trying to get this thing done...here is a pic of it after the suspension I will most more stuff later
