Purpose for putting the gas tank in front of the axle is to distribute the weight towards the center of the car.. & maintain the center of gravity in the middle.. Plus I don't want all that weight swinging back their.. With a LS motor I will get decent gas milage... Just got a new LS3 crate motor!

Lotus has a similar set up and I had considered using it on the 70 but I didn't want to sacrfice the rear seat. If you cut in the rear seat area you might be able to get a few more gallons. heck if your running a LS and get two 6 gallon tanks you would still get close to 200 miles out of the tanks which is simlar to my Wonderful 5.3 Tahoe.
