My car sat for so long in the driveway that when we started to get it all up and running it started to die. Well I needed a new fuel pump... Upon opening it us, the inside was rusted. I need a new tank. GRRRRRRR
The car is a 1997 V6 auto that had a vortech. It ran great for some time but eventually ran lean and blew a piston. I ended up selling al the v6 performance parts and bought a rolled over 2003 GT 5-speed convertiable. We stripped it all and swapped everything into my 97.
My 97 v6 now has a 2003 PI Engine and 5speed tranny and returnless style fuel system with the COPs. Its basically a 2003 in in a '97skin Only performance mods are 4:10 gears, aluminum drive shaft, bbk cail,bbk tb bbk intake hat, intake spacer, underdrive pullies, and bbk long tube ceramic coated headers.
Well I plan on pulling that out and drop in a 5.4 lightining engine I have had sitting around for months but not this fuel issue is a big issue.
I figure while I have the tank out and need to replace it that i could just buy a nice sumped tank and aftermarket aeromotive fuel pump.
You all have any good ideas as to where to pick up a complete tank sumped already and a good fuel system.
My other question is since my car is not returnless, i keep seeing sump tanks that all have a return line... how do I make this work?
