Hi all,
I have a 1986 swb 2wd and I am going to be doing an engine swap with a 2011 5.3 w/tranny. For those who have done this did you have to swap out your fuel tank? If so, what did you use? I would like to keep it in the same location as I have now which is the 16 gal side mount tank. I have read on other forms where people have done this with there stock tank in a 69 c10 and it works fine but I know nothing about this. I started an earlier thread called “New fuel tank” but I didn’t think I was clear on the title so I started a new thread, sorry if I am being redundant. In that thread Boone83K10 stated an 87 tank would work because it has a sump and the 86 didn’t, anyone else have thoughts on this? Also, any tips you have would be great!!
Thanks for any and all help!!!
