Gas tank?

Swapping an ls2 into my k5, wanted to use the entire factory fuel system but the tank isn't going to fit. What are u guys using for a tank? Are you having the evap system tuned out to avoid an engine light? Are you just plugging the purge valve line into the intake? And side note What are u guys getting for mileage?

Pull all that evaporated crap off, tune it out, run a camaro tank.02 model with vented cap . It takes some trimming and a hole through the frame for fill. Also need to remove the internal regulator out of pump

Re: Gas tank?

Fuel cells are so cheap these days, sometimes they are such an easy option. IMO, unless you need extra capacity, its easy enough to put a cell at the rearmost center of the frame rails. If you choose a cell, you also have the option of setting up a sump, dual feeds, a return, or any other components you choose.

I will second that. When I swapped in my 5.3 I used a square body blazer tank (25 gal). I had to move the rear crossmember, add an additional crossmember, and modify the filler on the tank. In the end I would've rather done a fuel cell.
