Go ahead and swap it! if your like me you'll end up doing it later anyways. Plans for the next one right now is a LSX block low compression/ 4L85 swap. i plan to rebuild the chassis, install all new drivetrain and leave the body paint for later on. we will see if i can stick to my plan.

What method did you go with to utilize both fuel tanks? Would you do it again in the same manner?

My problem is time really. I'd love to LS swap the truck, but I fear it would take me a couple years to complete. At this point, I'd rather get the 305 running better and put the money into better wheels and a rear suspension change. We'll see what happens.

I used both tanks as the OE did for years but had the tank valve failing all the time. The valve doesn’t seem to like todays fuels. Now I have the pass. Tank as my primary tank and use the drivers tank to fill the pass tank if need by a simple toggle switch.
