gas tank replacement

[Shawn Manny]

on the 4kq the diy fix isn't bad at all, both Tony and I have done
this in the past few months. Fuel celling is something I am still
looking into for down the road...probably not the best route for a
daily driver/street car though. Cells aren't to expensive, plumbing
would be cake for the most part, although a filler neck would have to
fabbed up. There is a perfect "space" between the rear frame rails
though...When I go to do it Im also re-locating the pump and filters
to the trunk as well to make them less vulnerable.
