Ok guys Im gonna be doing a Lq9 swap into a 70 el camino. The engine is going to stay stock for the time being but will be a mild build in the future. I never had to mess with fuel pumps and everything before so bear with me here. Im looking at getting a TanksInc tank that has a in-tank pump. I think I need the Walbro GPA-4, but not sure if its right for me. Also what does anyone thing of this.

It seems like a complete kit with everything I need. I never used those twist-lock connectors so I will have to figure those out. Any input in always welcome. Thanks for helping out a swap noob.

I cant say much about the TANKS tank, butlooking at cut out they basically put a metal can for pump to sit in. I went this way on my 76 skylark system. I bought a new tank on ebay $123.00 and an 06 silverado pump assembly new on ebay $50.00, some sheetmetal stock. I recessed top of tank so not to squish pump on trunk floor. Then on bottom side I made a box 6x6 4 inches deep so its lowest part of tank. Pump is in that box area so shouldnt have any problems keeping fuel at pump. Ran steel line up from tank with inline filter. A short section of fuel injection hose at each end connects everything together. Working great so far.

Twist-Lock hose is good stuff. Lots of racers use it with good results. Although I haven't gotten that far yet, I'll be using the same stuff in -10 for external oil components.

For fuel, though, I used stock nylon 3/8" fuel line. Considerably less expensive, lighter, and less bulk.
