    Lots of options, use the "Search" and you'll find all the info easily, even 2 articles in the "Tech Articles" section.

    sense your going with fuel injection, you should consider getting a tank or cell that is ready for fuel injection or have it adapted for fuel injection

    The cost to reline my 72 tank was 100.00 so I am just going repop brand new no chance of liner failing Mustangs unlimited has them for 94.95 sending unit lock ring gasket included thats a great price they are 16 gallon and you can get them with a drain plug and look at what fishnrace said not too hard to do

    :rofl2:No they are 65-66 Mustang tanks but if you use one its easier to run bigger dual exhaust I read about them in the tech article on the forum I want to run my exhaust out through holes in the valance like on a 65 gt Mustang thats why I am going that route plus 68 cougar taillights and backup lights off a mustang and a flip up gas cap off a old moon tank and a repop shaker hood with a chin spoiler off a 69 camaro I am going tell everyone who doesn't know what a Maverick is its a shelby prototype owned by a Ford executive lol:rofl2:
