the caprice tank is an idea i got from a guy on pro touring.com. its a 22gal plastic tank with the fuel pump in the tank. got one at the junk yard for $125 with the straps. there is some mods to do and its a tight fit but it works. saved lots of $$$$ mike

stealth its a 90 some vw jetta wiper motor,i think its a 98 jetta got it off e-bay for $4.00, ship was $12.00 lol, put it on the fire wall, under the driver fender where the blower motor is on the pass side. took the arm of the stock motor put it on the jetta motor. cut the ball end off the wiper arm and welded some round tube to reach the new lo cal, welded the ball end back on. hooked it up to a batt charger to get the set up right. work good mike

I'm putting an Impala tank in my Chevelle. Similar set up, but I didn't get straps w/ mine. I thought I could find some at the junkyard, but no luck on that yesterday. I guess I will have to wait until the next trip, but my $10 hydroboost makes up for it.

yes the impala tank is the same. i made access pan in my trunk to get at the fuel pump with out droping the tank. i would of had to make a hole in the trunk anyway. the pump mounting plate and lines stick up to much. thats a great deal on that hydroboost mike

rabar, they are tight with the one tube with the one bolt on top of the steering box, but i can put both headers on from up top no problems, as far as the s&p mounts go, they are nice but had problems with motor mounts. the stock crap rubber ones worked but the energy and prothane ones would not work with out mod. i welded the frame mount holes shut and redrilled them, now they work fine. leon may not use covers, but if i do will fab some up myself

Looks good... I like the SW headers probably would have worked on my application also...
