Re: 49 Suburban 5.3 LS Swap

One of the biggest challenges of this whole swap is the fuel tank situation. My plan is to remove the factory fuel tank and go with a newer modern tank from a late 80's s10 blazer. That way the tank is baffled for the fuel injection setup. I bought a new 20 gallon tank and plan to mount it in the back behind the rear axle and make a trap door through the factory wooden floor so the fuel pump can be easily taken in and out if needed. I also go a pump that will attach to the factory drop in sending unit on this tank and flow the proper psi that the LS engine needs.

Here are some pics of the burb in the shop now under the knife. Removed the whole front clip and have the engine yanked out. It wont be long until im ready to drop the LS back in. I'm waiting on some more parts to come in and Im gonna clean the firewall up and paint it and the inner fenders.
