FoxBody Fuel tank options? Hey guys, I am doing a LQ4 twin turbo build, and looking for options with the Fuel tank. I currently have a 10 gal fuel Cell, with 2 lines coming out of it. the car has been running a 406 SBC on spray for the past several years.
Any input is appreciated.

Fuel Tank Maybe nothing, I have not searched for fuel pump requirements just yet, If I am lucky, I hope to be able to use my current Cell.
My build is a LQ4, 9.8 CR, Huron twin turbo kit, 317 ported heads, twin spec'd cam, PTC converter with a glide. going in a 2700 lb Fox street car.
I still need to decided on a intake & fuel system.

Is it a full on race car? Street car? I like to use the factory tank and fill. You can pick up a new factory tank dirt cheap then have a sump welded to it. Or run a surge tank.

Thanks Thanks guys,
The car with be a street / track car. I was not sure if the fuel cell would even work seeing I have only 2 outlets, and no return option. I was looking for what you experienced guys have done in the past.

A nice option I'm exploring is a 03-04 cobra dual pump tank. Close to drop in for Fox's and sn95's, and has good baffling. I would run (1) factory pump of choice, and have the 450 kick in when needed. Lotta options for fuel pumps/combo's here. And the factory fuel level sender is retained. Can get pricey, but what the hell isnt.
Given a choice, I'd rather avoid having anykind of fuel or part of the fuel system in the car, or a sump welded. The sump you risk a sh!tty job being done (which happened personally to me) resulting in leaks, and the sump doesnt offer any baffling advantages.

Look up Behind Bars Race Cars or Glenns. Both make fabbed tanks for the fox. Looking at these for when I get to that point on my coupe project.
