Sounds perfect for me, I can do some fab work but this is a gas tank after all...

May I ask how much did it cost you and did you provide a tank/pump etc...

Thanks,

I got an upgraded pump and all I had to do was wash the tank out and plumb it - it was around 800 shipped.

I've never had any issues with the pump sucking air , and that is a common problem when people try to retro fit using the stock sender / pickup.

I 've had it under 1/8th tanks and have had no starvation issues.

I really like that Rock Valley setup! However, I decided to try it on my own and went with the Tanks Inc PA4 pump and baffle setup for my 56 Dodge after researching it as much as I could.

Here is a link to a setup in a Chevelle.

http://www.thedetailzone.com/Tanks%20Fuel%20Pump%20Install.htm.

My tank is shallow so I dont have the depth to recess the top and will have to beat some room for the fuel lines up into the trunk. After all the hours I spent heating and working the floor to make room for the T56 Magnum 6 speed, making room for a fuel line should be a piece of cake.

I cut the hole where the pickup would be at the lowest part of the tank and right where the OEM pickup was. I did not realize the vent tube was right where I was drilling but its not a problem it will be removed and plugged along with the fuel pickup line. The tank is not flat so had to hammer out the ridges. After some hammering and heating and shrinking the metal I managed to make it pretty flat. Its not done yet but so far it looks like it will work out just fine.
