Hey Joel,,,,, at what date do you predict you will be removing the Heads to take a look-see?

Um, there might be a small modest fee for look see's. Make checks out to:

Hey Joel,,,,, at what date do you predict you will be removing the Heads to take a look-see?
Nice job...we took a little different approach on my SI V6 conversion project. Used a universal tank from tanks.com...sacrificed the spare tire area but gives us a 16 gallon tank already set up for EFI. Have yet to plumb the filler tube but it will run in the stock location.Got the Mutt tank in today, inserts and such tomorrow. for all the Nay Sayers think about a Tiger trunk floor with a tire laying down this tank is 2" above he floor.View attachment 20165
I’ve done the exact same thing re the in tank pump and Sniper accessories. I guess a lot of people run the flexible fuel line for their EFI’s but I can’t get my head around that idea so will also be plumbing with hard line as are you.Thanks, this too is a fuel injection tank from Tanks, just a universal Mustang tank, I bought one of their in tank pumps, to use with the Sniper I'll just buy the basic kit without the pump lines etc.
and plum with hard lines and put a micron post filter in line,as to the trunk space don't reckon to much is lost doing this.
I just been having that conversation with my body guy...I think we’re going to opt for under the car...even though the risk is pretty minimal with hard lines, I’d really rather have them outside the passenger compartment in case something goes hay wire. To keep them close to the floor we may fab an additional passage through the x-frame similar to the exhaust passages only smaller obviously.Looks like some of us are on the same page.
My only quandary is whether to run the lines under the car,or thru the pass. compartment.
You guys have been working on Sunbeams for years but this is new to me and it is definitely different from Street Rods.
Available at any O'Reilly Auto Parts. They carry various diameters and rolls of various lenghts It was used for both the fuel line and brake lines on our last project.As far as I'm concerned, the answer is a roll of copper-nickle brake line run underneath. The stuff is easy to work and very durable. Surprisingly quick and easy job, even while laying on your back. Price is within reason.

Be like a new Mazda Miata....... inflation kit and no spare!!!Joel will the spare go tiger style on the floor or does it depend if you switch to the mustang tank?
Sorting out the shock mounts got all the brackets made and got the right side TIG'd on.View attachment 20233
