st-jean baptiste ,quebec,
Ive seen some posts about this ,but they never answered my questions .....

my LT1 is in ,carburated for now ( quadrajet)
got it running from a jerry can + 6 lbs electric fuel pump ....runs great ,valves ajusted ready to roll , except :

I have no fuel tank ( it was rot ).....

I plan to convert my LT1 back to fuel injection in near future with twin 58mm T/Body + 38 lbs injectors .....

my concern is : having no tank to start with , should «i get a brand new buick GN tank+ sending unit + high pressure pump
at around $500.00 or get a fuel cell + pump + sending unit ?

cost wise is one better then the other ?
any legal points I should know about fuel cell on the street?
what are the pros & cons about this .

thanks
Dan

I payed a lot less on bay for the tank and sending unit. Prob round $200. Got a Walbro hi-flow pump for round $100 with filter. I'm doin a tpi swap.
