Every guy that builds rear ends right now are scratching their heads looking at those pictures. You are making this WAY more complicated than it has to be twocents Just an old beam style inch pound torque wrench is all you need.

Here are a couple more pictures with the top off showing the baffles inside and the sump built into the corner. The sump is 4 inches deep and I can lower the pump down into it so I should be able to maintain fuel pressure all the way to empty.

No, I don't have a TIG. I'm okay with a MIG but I don't have much TIG experience. I take the TIG welding over to the local chassis shop and let the pros do it.

That looks really nice, I need to do a new tank. I have a sump a friend of mine and I made that didn't turn out as we wanted it to. Its amazing the amount of baffling we have in the sump and you can still hear the pump change tone when you get on the brakes, even with lots of fuel. It doesn't cause a pressure loss but something changes because you can here the pump when you normally can't.

I need to work in a tank like you have made but under the car.

Something like this? This is the tank I have in my Duster. Got it a few years back from a place called Hot Rod City Garage which unfortunately is no longer business. Saved 18lbs from the stock tank. Fully baffled and narrowed to fit between 3" exhaust.

If you have no pressure change, I would say its just a sound change from the fuel load change on the outer walls of the tank, the Dampening change from front to back, just my opinion .

Got the new fuel tank installed and have had the car out for a few test miles. Everything seems to be working great so far. The fuel doesn't slosh around like it used to in the unbaffled tank. I have a lot of room in the trunk now since the new tank sits up between the tubs. I mounted the filter/regulator combo on the inside of the passenger tub so it is out of the way. All of the lines and wiring tuck up out of the way so that cleaned up the trunk space nicely. I need to patch the floor and then it will be ready to go.

New wheels and tires are here. Took about 4 months for the correct wheels to arrive. Weld sent the wrong wheels 8 weeks after I ordered them so they had to go back to Weld. Then they took about 6 more weeks to send the correct wheels. Tires were also backordered. The brakes took a few weeks from Baer but not too bad. The 9 inch is on order with Doctor Diff, should have it the end of the month or early in November and then I'll go to work on putting it in the car.

Easier to work on, doesn't take up so much space plus I wanted a gear ratio that you can't get in a Dana 60.

The new 9 inch assembly from Strange Engineering is here. Need to get it unpacked and mount the brakes up before sliding it under the car. Then I can sell the existing S60 setup.
