    Fabricating a stainless efi tank for my 1965 mustang

    Thanks for the compliment!! As far as the equipment goes, I work for a fabrication shop. I started there when I was 18 (I am now 30) and went though an apprenticship. I now manage our laser and forming departments. So I can use that stuff after hours. The pictures of the mill are at my...

    Fabricating a stainless efi tank for my 1965 mustang

    My main reason for the change is my in-abbility to leave anything alone. All in all i was very pleased with the carb, normal drivability was great along with WOT. However I do quite a bit of spirited runs with my friends, most of them have z06 corvettes and vipers. While I have plenty of...

    Fabricating a stainless efi tank for my 1965 mustang

    Made some good progress today. Started working on the manifold and got it about 95% converted to efi. Started out by machining the injector bungs in. The Sullivan intake already had bosses cast in so I did not have to do weld in bungs, just machine what was there. This was my first time...

    Fabricating a stainless efi tank for my 1965 mustang

    Any that you recomend? I used that one so it would work with the gauge I have, it seemed all the universal ones are for GM resistance.

    After market fuel injection??

    The new Holley line starts with a throtle body system very similar to the easy efi (avenger) and goes up to the unlimited version MPI (dominator) with throttle by wire and transmission contol capabilities. All of the new systems come with and use a wideband. For all around features and and...

    After market fuel injection??

    Holley is coming out with some new stuff that is AWESOME!! I am in the procees of swithcing my car over to that. Not sure if they have 351C specific, but they have a universal kit (which is what I am using) that will adapt any intake manifold to EFI. Self learning also!!

    VERY UNHAPPY with fender aprons shipped from National Parts Depot (http://www.npdlink

    Get used to it buying aftermarket parts. I don't think I bought a part for my entire car I did not have to "massage" in some way. Most of the parts places carry the same stuff. I used NPT alot and was very happy with them. It bascally comes down to customer service and they were awceme with me.

    Fabricating a stainless efi tank for my 1965 mustang

    I have access to a 175 ton press brake and lasers so the cutting and bending really is not a big deal. I would love to buy a new welder for home, just can not justify it at this time. Mine works on aluminum I just have to try a lot harder to get the same results as a newer syncrowave or...

    Fabricating a stainless efi tank for my 1965 mustang

    No good solid reason :). I just have much more access to SS, my welder is a 1972 linde and the high frequencey is shakey at times, and I thought the stainless would be more appealing to the street car crowd (I could be wrong here). The only real downside to it is the weight (this thing is...

    Fabricating a stainless efi tank for my 1965 mustang

    Made some more progress today. I could not find an electrical bulkhead I liked so I decided to make my own. Just took some 1/2" plastic bolts, drilled and tapped them to 10-32, and inserted a 10-32 stud. Finished up the inside of the tank. Added the return port and got the sending...

    Fabricating a stainless efi tank for my 1965 mustang

    Fabbed the baffle pan tonight and tacked in the sides of the tank. Welded in a coupling that will be the supply line out of the tank. Welded up the top also but no pics of that.

    Fabricating a stainless efi tank for my 1965 mustang

    I have been building stainless steel tanks and equipment for many industries including many chemical palnts and food applications for 15 years. I am well aware of the possibility of carbonizing. Typically this issue come up more ofter whem the metal is welded to hot, however it can arise from...

    Fabricating a stainless efi tank for my 1965 mustang

    Got the top section cut in and tacked. I added a piece of pipe on the bottom side to route the pump and sending unit wires through.
