The G-Body Swap Thread

My plans are to start with a factory unit and upgrade from there if needed, my car will be more of a street/cruiser and i doubt i will ever hit the track more than once to see what it will do. Seems like Afco is a go to unit for the camaro guys, guess you just go with the biggest one you can squeeze in there.

Oh sorry i just now saw that you said the tank. Here is one in a cutlass mounted on the pass side inner fender, its meant to mount in the battery box.

the other is a "race drive" which seems to have plenty of wrap.
I can't say whether or not they changed the drive as this is the only one have seen from them.
I don't like the other drive that share a belt with all the accessories.For my power goals I think the race drive will be up to the task.
