Efi ready fuel tank

Post by mcb14230 »

Has anyone found and used an efi ready fuel tank for their ‘61-63 Bird. I am jumping to either a Holley sniper or Fitech system and want to do a return line and want to do an in tank pump

I bought a new tank and modified it with the Aeromotive "stealth" in-tank pump. On a '66 I had to create a flat spot on top of the tank about 1" lower because the outlet and return lines feed into a puck that mounts to the top of the tank.

Anyone else have any luck? I've got a Holley Terminator X Stealth 2x4 that I'll be installing, and am also having difficulty finding a tank.

EFI-Ready tank for a '61-'63? There is no such thing that I'm aware of. You're going to need to modify one yourself. Get a new tank and have a radiator shop install a return line fitting.

Whatever you end up doing, if you order a new tank, 61 tanks are different from 62/63…
