Billingsley Racing is currently developing a bolt-in aluminum fuel cell for 4th gens. This cell will fit into the rear trunk well and include a rear firewall per NHRA rules. Optional battery mount will be available. This kit will provide a foundation for a drag racing style fuel system capable of supporting the demands of higher horsepower engines while shedding weight and retaining legality at the same time. Our calculations point towards a 5-6 gal capacity with a 0-90 ohm sending unit available. Price with chrome moly framework, aluminum cell, sending unit, battery mount, and firewall will most likely be in the $600 area. Is there enough demand for a product like this? We have a prototype built and need support to go further. Thanks

Hey Jay, i would be interested. I have a guy local who was building me one but its been two months since he took the measurments and its not done. Let me know price, size and if its polished aluminum or raw. Thanks

Sorry Jay, didnt see the price. I would need just the cell and no sending unit or firewall stuff. Thanks

I would love a firewall. Have the fuel cell mounted already. Even will put another sticker on the hot rod <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I would love to have one, any chance on a larger cell? I was getting ready to start making a setup like this, but I would rather buy it then fab one up. Can you get some pics up? I will give you a call Monday.

What kind of weight savings vs. the stock plastic tank?

Bg Drg

Terry,

I'm not sure of the exact weight of the plastic tanks, but the cell, sending unit, and frame should be about 12-15 lbs. Plus, with the lower total capacity, pick-up starvation should not be a problem as with the factory tank. Obviously this won't allow for a 100 mile cruise, but should be enough for a night of racing.

And im sure it would not matter if its an LT1 or LS1 right, im in!

Sounds like a very good idea Jay. How would the firewall attach to the car? The firewall would be steel?

is this the same style setup thats is on Chris Sikora's car? if so from what i saw on the car at MIM it was a very well done piece

Chris's car has a custom made tank that feeds the weldon pump that is in his t-top well. Then he has an almuminum fake floor with an access door over the well.

THIS design is probably similar to Jay's old black camaro. You can see pics of the car and rear firewall on Madman's site.

Pics do not do the work justice. Absoutely some of the best craftmanship I have ever seen.

Wish I could afford to do this new setup. Maybe in the future.

I would like to see it, and if this is the one in Chris' car, would like to see that car as well.

Thanks!!!
