Early Classic Enterprises

Hello,

I own a 1966 GMC Suburban. We are putting a LS1 in it. I've been looking for a replacement gas tank and ran across Early Classic Enterprises gas tanks. Has anyone used there EFI gas tank on burb? I see were Boyd's Welding is has been used on a couple Burbs in the forum.

Re: Early Classic Enterprises

I ordered a gas tank for a 1990 suburban.It will allow you to put pump in the tank. The tank fit in there very nicely.

Thanks Licfer,

We're did you get the tank at? Is it a stock tank? Do you have any pics.

Thanks

Re: Early Classic Enterprises

Thanks Lucifer,

I guess you had to move some frame rails? Did the fill match up to the fill door ok?

The fill lined up fine. The only cross member I moved was the rear one. Its a 31 gallon tank so its worth the effort.

Re: Early Classic Enterprises

Thanks to bad. Can you post some pictures of the rear of the burb? I want to see how the tank hangs down.

Thanks for all the advice.

Nope dropped spindles. 3inch drop coils in front, lowering blocks with 4 inch drop coils in rear. I added air shocks for help when loaded.

Re: Early Classic Enterprises

if you can afford to go EFI you should. I love it, I had it done on 55 and the thing runs great. I would recommend Speartech for you wiring harness.
