The tank is my stock one with a $40 sump welded on it.

I guess I will just post a parts list on here instead of PM it. I'll try to post it later today I have to go yank the spool out of my car and put in a LSD.

All of the lines and fittings can be subsituted by pushlock like I did to save money.

I cut the bungs off the sump and used weld on an fittings.

Any questions

Using a sumped tank you will have to convert to a return style fuel system which is pricey but if you are gonna be making big power it's worth the money. Don't buy a kit cause it will cost alot more. If you want to go this route let me know and I will give you a part list and where to buy.

The cobra tank is good as is to about 500hp. After that you will have to upgrade pumps, efpd's, fuel lines and rails which will cost about the same as going return style.

Very nice work, and don't take this the wrong way but...

that's a useless setup for anyone that road races.

Just to make sure this comment goes over well, that is a very clean and well thought out sumped tank.
