Wut?

I never understood why you would have to drop the tank. You can easily access the fittings at the tank pickup and filter for both lines. Once the lines have been separated there and at the fuel rails, the only thing holding them in is some body screws and rivets.

Well since when he scraps the car he'll have to drop the tank anyway,, why not drop it now????? Its two bolts and takes 15 secs with an impact.

But there is no point in doing it on his swap car. Especially if there is a bunch of fuel in the tank.

I bought some gt40ps heads and the intake for 225 bucks. I did a mild port job, upgraded the springs and got a valve job. I also bought a trickflow stage 1 cam. Bought some mac long tubes and h pipe for 100 bucks and just got a mac catback. Sn95 trans for 250 and a aluminum DS for a 100. I also bought an 8.8 with 3.73s for 100 dollars. I'm a CL whore. Lol. I check it prob 30 times a day cuz you never know when you'll find a deal

ac wot cut-off relay. It turns off the a/c when you mash the throttle so you have more power and you dont break the clutch inside the compressor.
