External fuel pumps suck. Aeromotive makes a in tank fuel pump/bucket assembly that allows you to install the pump assembly into almost any tank ever made and turn it into a fuel injection style tank with the fuel pump baffled by the foam bucket assembly. It provides AN supply and return line or you can run it returnless. I've used it in several swaps and it's the bees knees lets you keep the stock tank and it's stone quiet and can't hear it and non of the problems associated with external mount pumps and twice as reliable.

Here's a few pics. 5.3 bored to ls1 with 4l60e. Air ride on all 4 corners with 18's up front and 20's out back. Going to be a fun family car.

Thanks! Yeah I saw yours and figured it would get air ride. If you haven't already look up a car called "The green mile" you will find it very inspiring for your build.

I tried looking up the green mile, and all I get are movie sites. What is it? It did make me remember this one I saw at Hot August NIghts this year.

Keep up the good work. I personally love these wagons. Let us know if you would like a cam or anything to through in it. Don't forget we also have turn key motors if that is something you may be interested in.

Thanks
Derek

I can vouch for Derek at Texas Speed. He helped me out a ton with my LS1 build when I realized I had screwed up my choice of heads.

Sounds good. I would be more than happy to help you with that. We also have stand alone harnesses that may be easier than trying to cut the old harness up out of the other car. Give me a call and i can get it all set up for you.

Thanks
Derek

I am in love with this car. I would like to see more pics and specs. Does it have its own thread?
