fuel pump dilema
fuel pump dilema ok yall, did a little searchin and found some stuff, but not really what I'm lookin for.
What I've got right now is a poly blazer tank from a 71-ish chevy blazer under the rear of my truck. It came to my attention from looking at things that this is probablly not going to work for my gen3 swap.
I know a guy up in NC that may be able to make me a custom fuel tank, but I need to know how deep the stock GM fuel pumps are.
To get more specific, what I'm doing is planning to use the original silverado wiring inside of my c10 project for everything, that is, in place of a painless kit or something like that, so I'm going to try and use a factory GM in-tank fuel pump so that the sending unit and fuel supply will all work. The stock silveardo fuel pump according to a friend is 15" tall, and my tank is only 12" deep. I do not beleive I want a 15" tank, it will be too close to the ground. So can a camaro work with a silverado guage cluster or standard GM instrmentation? will it provide the fuel I need for my vortec 5300 and how deep is it for tank design
wow, what a mouthful. Thanks yall!

well.. that would be PERFECT then. I am going to try and go look at a stock silverado/camaro fuel pump monday if i have time down at the GM parts dept. I'm getting antsy heh, need to move this project along
If the factory pumps are the same as the ones in the Aus spec LS1's which I think they are, you can cut down the rods to shorten total height of the pump, eg from 27-28cm I got mine down to 14cm.
