need help on my 68 chevy truck lq4 4l80 swap "fuel"

he guys glad to find a site that pertains to what im doing I have a 68 short wide that im building it was intended for a big block but i changed my mind and scored a 02 6.0 and 4l80e. I also got a 02 camaro tank and fuelpump etc. from a ls car i Know the thank will work but I know that the car and truck are different systems so I need some one to walk me through the best option to make it work hopfull with out haveing to use a different pump and stuff. Im planning on haveing wait4u do the wireing. the truck has already got a few mods like the 12 bolt was rebuilt with custom moser axles that have a car bolt patter to tuck the 15 wide dragradials, it has richmond 4.10 and strange mini spool, it has a static drop 6" and i channeled it over the frame 3" so it looks like its on bags, i may have to get them to keep from scraping. front end is all new with cowl hood. and Im doing a custom take on the grill to make it look like a 69 camaro. now all this is a work in progress and beings im a youth pastor i don't get much time for it. I can snap a few pics for you but it very much is in the build stage. most people see it as gutted junk but i know the time and money in it and anone who has done one like this appriciates it to. most dont see 1000. worth or rearend or 1000 worth of suspension and so on thanks for the help..

I did a LT1 swap into a 1966 Impalla with awesome results. That's why I'm now deep into the middle of an LQ9 into my '72 K5 Blazer.
The thing with tanks made for in-tank pumps is a couple of things.
They have baffles in them so as to "trap" some fuel close to the fuel pick-up so in turns and when you have low fuel quantity, you don't get the pump cavitating ( trying to pump air....which you can't....it gets compressed until fluid is pumped again....bad joo-joo)
The second thing is that it's already plumbed for the return and the vent.
Other than that, if you have to you can always regulate the pressure to the/at the fuel rails to your need if you use another set-up ( even with an noisy external pump ).

So do some web searching and you'll get the idea clearly.

bump:

these are old pics but i need a bump and feedback

Just to clarify, are you asking if the 'maro tank & pump will work with the '02 LQ4 intake setup?

Post up more pics!

I've personally have never seen a stock tank with a built in baffle... The new ones have a canistor that holds the level constant, but no baffles. I have the cavitation problem in mine if I let it get to 1/4 tank, sucks. One day it will get a cell and fix it though.

Does the '87 C10 gas tank not have baffles? I was under the impression it's baffled.

Hey Jon, I know a guy that can make a fuel cell for your truck. :thumb:

I don't have one laying around right now but I'm pretty sure they don't.
