I have been seriously thinking about those long thin cells to replace the factory frame mounted tank. Just need to do some measureing to see if it fits then come up with the $$$. Outcast Dodge guy.

Probably 3800 and change without. I can't imagine any full size being down to 3000lbs but that would be a fine drag racing weight. 69 Super Bee, 93 Mustang LX, 04 Allure Super

Boy, i certianly know what thats like. Plus its just to dang hot out. But i will push on. For those of you wanting the conveinance of using lines with fittings rather than hoses and clamps, i highly recommend the use of JIC pushlock fittings and hoses. Its far far cheaper than the standard aluminum racing -AN stuff, but is still compatiable as it has a matching 37degree taper on the fitting. I didnt want the expense, nor did i want the flashy look of the braided line, so this stuff is a good alternative. The hose is available in black or blue---i wanted black. Plus for me, We deal alot with a hydralic hose facility down the road from work, he charged me $10 for all my fittings and hose to plumb from my hardline in the engine compartment to the carb fittings. Pics to follow. Outcast Dodge guy.
