Default 68-72 gm a body tanks inc tank

any input on the tanks inc tank from guys running it would be nice. pros and cons. Any starvation issues? I've figured out all the answers to all my issues by simple searches prier to this one. I see posts of guys buying them for swaps but never find info on how they worked out. Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated....

I bought it for the no modification to the trunk pan aspect. I also like the stock "look" for my 70 Chevelle. I will have mine installed in a few weeks and I can give you some more info.

I'm interested in more info on this as well.
I'm doing an alum 5.3 turbo '69 Chevelle.

I don't want to drop $1K+ on a Rick's tank.

Are the Tank's Inc fuel tanks e85 compatible?

There are lots of A-body forums where people could give you more info on this type of thing.

You'll be hard pressed to find any bad reviews on tanks inc tanks. They are designed around an OEM tank, but baffled with an in-tank canister. They will perform like an OEM tank as far as fitment and reliability. If you want a nice shiny polished tank with extra inlet/outlets blah blah blah, you're going to pay more.

The tank we are looking for some info on is the efi tank for a ls swap. The a-body forums can help if we were looking for an oem tank.

I understand this. But what kind of info are you looking for? The tanks inc EFI tank is based on their OEM replacement tanks. It uses the exact same tank as the OEM replacement tanks. If its fitment thats your worry, I don't see why there should be an confusion.

If you're wondering about fuel starvation, almost any sort of baffle is going to be better than an OEM tank, and it'll perform better than a sump.

A 30 second trip to chevelles.com and long enough to type 'Tanks inc' in the search bar gives you lots of info:

No problems whatsoever, the baffling inside is enough for me to not have any issues. But I don't autocross yet, and my stuff is mainly street cruising and stuff right now. Btw, managed 25 mpg out of that old brick the other day too, lol.
