I just got mine about 2 weeks ago from Hector at Ricks. (A real nice guy- he owns the place) Absolutly a first class tank . I had them mount a Weldon 600 A flow thrue in the tank along with a 100 micron filter. I had them use 5/8" SS tube with #10 fittings ( in case I ramp it up later on .) I had the same Weldon mounted under the car and could barley hear it ( with Motor running) >Now i cannot hear it with the motor running. I WISH i had done this 10 yers ago. After trying various combos of fittings welded to stock tanks, hanging pumps under the car , wrapping the pumps in 6 layers of heat shield, suffering with pin hole air leaks that would not leak fuel , but would creat bubbles in the fuel system, plus all the plumbing just looked like poo under the car. If there is a down side, it is that the tank added 35 lbs ( like for like)to the rear. They double wall the bottom of the SS tank so that the welds on the baffles do not show thue. If i had known that , I MAY have asked for the lightweight version PM me your number and i go into more detail. I Highly reccomend their tanks. If you go with Ricks , ask for Hector and tell him Mark likes his Challenger tank

I got a custom stainless steel tank from Hector for my 1970 'Cuda. It's an inch wider on each side and has a 2 1/2' deeper steped bottom and has internal baffels.
It bolts into the stock location, clears everything, and the #12 pick-up comes through an exsisting body plug hole in the trunk. It also has 3 #10 return lines and a #10 vent on the passenger side for the Performance Engineering fuel pump bypass lines plus a line to fill/mix race gas from an fuel cell in the trunk.
Nice tank, overall good experience with them. Much better than anything else I could find out there, with more capacity to boot.
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

the other side. These photos are while it was still in production at Rick's Hotrod Shop. It came to me all cleaned up and pretty.

Here's one of it installed, with longer stanless steel straps. The 3" TTI exhaust comes close to the front corner of the tank near the rear-end, but clears no problem.

I'm running this Product Engineering pump, because it's was the only pump I could find that doesn't say NOT to mount it above the fuel level or it will void the warranty. It's surprisingly quiet too. This was during the test fitting stage. The pump and regulators are of great finish quality.
