If it were me I would install a 4th gen fuel tank. I have one out of a 1999 Trans Am.

3rd gen tank is fine though unless your gifting him the tank

I think the 4th gen tank has multiple benefits over the 3rd gen tank buts thanks Greg!

[Gregs_gsxr]

no prob!


Brian, I have a list of swap part numbers if you go that route.

[deeznuts94]

Thanks guys! I will have to look up the guy on here that has one. As I said before I will more than likely carb it to start with. I think for the carb set up all I will do is upgrade the pump. Later when I run the injection I will run a fourth gen tank if I can find one. The house we're in in does not have much storage space so I have no room for an extra tank at the moment.

yea, she is back on 4 wheels, everything is in and plumed just working on the wiring, and paint.

Sweet! How soon are you planning on firing it?

lol Not until Michael gets you those I guess.

[Gregs_gsxr]

well its cold outside, and its my busy season at work, so hopefully in the next month probably 2 months. Truly its right there, finish wiring and add gas.

[deeznuts94]

Nice!

[Gregs_gsxr]

sent you a pm with and LS info.

[Darren]

Going to carb a LS? Or your motor you have now? I wouldn't carb a ls it's so easy to drop a complete package in and roll...


That said I think you should do a carbd sbc build but I am biased.

[deeznuts94]

Yep. I just dont want to swap the harness and play with all of the computer stuff until I paint the car. I know a few guys running carbs on their LS swaps. They run really good. All I would need is an MSD 6LS to fire the coil packs.

Not sure if I did those links right but these are a couple of guys that I have talked to about it. Darren if you know anyone that has anything I would be interested in checking it out. Not opposed to the old school stuff, but it has to be nice and it has to make over 300 horsepower.

[deeznuts94]

Obviously I wouldnt want something this fast to start with, but these guys are saying with some motor mounts, headers,the msd box and some, other little odds and ends I could have it running and driving.

[Gregs_gsxr]

here is a start, might be also able to talk him down a bit too

edit: another good buy, can't go wrong with a 5.3, run it NA carb or boost it later
