Re: LS1 fuel tank in an LT1 car

Wouldn't the ls1 style filler neck be on the ls1 tank?

I'm looing at this and I am gonna try to just add the fuel return line to the LS1s tank pump housing assembly, It looks very doable.

Re: LS1 fuel tank in an LT1 car

If it is just the fuel return that is the problem, that is simple. Cut a 1" piece of pipe about 1/4" id and weld it to the pump assembly after a hole is drilled. Are the dimensions where the tank straps go the same?

Well the connections are different as well, but easy to work around.

Re: LS1 fuel tank in an LT1 car

so are there any downsides to the swap? you need the tank, the filler neck, and i guess the different fuel pump? and fab some connection points.


sounds so tempting...until i look at the bills sitting on my floor

Re: LS1 fuel tank in an LT1 car

Both, the elec plug is different and the fuel lines connections are in a different spot and a different type.

Re: LS1 fuel tank in an LT1 car

revive the dead..who did it and how much work what year ls1 tank did you use?
and can you use a ls1 tank with the lt1 fuel pump assembely, sending unit, everything from the lines outside the tank to the pump drop it into the ls1 tank or is the opening differant?


heres some link i found
http://www.geocities.com/formulapower2/fuelpump.html

is this an ls1 style tank it has an extra sensor on top if it
http://www.neofb.com/gallery (second page, 98z in progress)
trying to find a pic of a 99-02
if this si true cut the metal lines use a short rubber hose with clamps on it right on top of the pump...and srop in the lt1 pump assembely(same 6 bolt hole pattern right?
