Since I got my mustang in addition to my camaro I found this fuel system they make for thirdgens:

Aluminum tank and any intank pump up to 2000hp. Fuel lab stuff. Thinking of this for my 421 stroker on nitrous in the camaro. Nice setup.

Too rich for my blood. Stock 4th gen tank and 3 walbros for 1500+ hp on gas for about 450$

But does look nice. Fuel lab is good stuff

$800 for a fuel tank not including a fuller neck, sending unit or pump. As mentioned above, you can build something just as good for a lot less.

Newer replacment tanks dont even have the baffles like the older replacment tanks or what factory had. They have like a dish. This is all aluminum plus has the correct baffles with 3 gallon trap. Cost nonwithstanding its good to see some aftermarket stuff for our year cars. Must be a ford thing then. Since I got my mustang Ive noticed those guys seem to have no problem spending coin on anything.

Thanks for posting, not everyone has metal shop at home !

New replacement tank are cheap chinese steel, and crack when you TIG on them.

This is a really nice piece! I would get it hard anodized (inside and out) and it will last forever.

By the time you buy a welder and learn how to TIG aluminum, not to mention all the tools you need to cut, bend, & fab metal it will be way cheaper to just buy this.

bolt it in and go !
