Will the LS7 tank fit inside of an Fbody? I'm going to scout around for a used one if it will. I'm using the rest of the LS7 setup so it would make things simpler.

Actual volume inside the tank, not sure. (the tank is not filled to the top) Fill capacity of the complete system, 8 quarts.

We put one in a Camaro. We put it where the battery was. We shortened it 3 inches first.

I would think you could have something fabricated for not too much money. Especially if you have to modify it anyways.

Peterson has a couple of options that might work for you. I used them for the oil and breather tanks on the '67.

That's where I was thinking about as. I'm guessing it wouldn't fit with out the shortening?
