Irritating...I'm not seeing how a factory fuel pump will drop in to this tank. There is nothing for the pump assembly body to "snap into" to hold in place.

This pump looks like the hat would fit and solves the problem of a return line, but still don't see how to hold the base in place. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181125069932...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Had to edit my post as I missed some of the info you posted. I believe that people run the later style tanks so the can use a Cobra setup. The stock FOX fuel system works pretty well on it's own since you wanna keep the stock lines, etc.

Just bought a kit the other day for my car. It was branded under Carter PT# P74151HP. Its a complete drop in with a 255lph Walbro pump.

I've been getting great tips/advice for this car and it is much appreciated. I have made one change which was told to me as not needed...a fuel tank swap. I want to use the factory fuel system in the car to include the fuel tank as well as the fuel lines instead of the usual fuel cell in the trunk along with the associated -AN lines/fittings. I was advised the factory tank/lines along with a upgraded pump was all that was needed, but I spied this tank with internal baffling and could not get it out of my head so I have it on hand. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131328550204...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Supposedly it will accept a pump such as this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/181125073517...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I don't know how these pumps are supposed to snap-in yet...do not have one in hand atm. Seems to me all I need do is figure out how to add a fitting in the tank somewhere for the factory return line. Any ideas I am all ears at this point.
Umm, not for nuthin' BUT, I would go and read the last sentence in the rule book regarding the fuel tank. I got bit by this a few years ago. You can change the stock tank to a cell BUT, "If OEM tank is used, it must remain unaltered".

Dumb question, but is that an Aeromotive tank? I did not open your internet links. Aeromotive sells a drop-in pump that resembles your tank opening.

Good luck.

I am probably not telling you something that you may already know. But make sure the car is level all the way around when you install the subframe connectors. Otherwise the car could be twisted after installation.

The Aeromotive system is called Stealth. I looked it up after seeing their ads on either Gearz or the NHRA ProMod Series on TV. It fits in a stock looking pump opening in the tank but still uses -AN fittings. They may be in the tank and more easily converted to stock steel, though.

EDIT: That tank is very similar to the Fox body Stealth tank from Aeromotive and probably will take the same pump. Check the specs in this link:

Aeromotive Stealth Tank

The Ebay seller isn't Aeromotive. Different area code. Might be a Chinese knockoff.

I would classify it as OEM Billy...it is an over the counter 03/04 Mustang gas tank. Can I just call it a fuel cell then? :p

I had the car wheels on railroad ties today Sean when I tacked them on. I'll finish welding when I can get it on the lift...damn that rolling on the floor lol.
