Title: Mustang gas tank in t-bird?
Post by: cougarbird86 on September 17, 2014, 08:01:26 PM
Just wondering if a fox body mustang gas tank will fit into my 86 t bird. I really want that stealth fuel tank setup from aeromotive, and really don't want to do a fuel cell.

Any input?

I don't believe that the stang tank will work. I read/heard that there is a difference. Not sure on that though. I'm going to use this in my car. Just a thought. http://aeromotiveinc.com/products-page/stealth-fuel-systems/phantom-system/phantom-340-efi-return-style-installation-kit/

Fox stang tanks have a large hump on one side. Not going to work unless you want to cut a big hole on one side of your trunk floor.
I ended up sumping my factory tank. Total cost was about $1200 in parts with Fuelab 140gph external pump, pre and post filters -8 feed, -6 return lines plus fittings, Turbojoe rail and a Aeromotive FPR. That doesn't include the $400 for the 160lb injectors though.
A bit overkill but I am running E-85 and want plenty of fuel. Only drawback is the sump hanging under the bird screams racecar and every tom, dick and harry seems to want to race me everywhere I go, lol.

Do you think theres enough room to use straight AN hose fittings for INLET and OUTLET, since they are angled, or will it need 45 degree ones?
