Thanks! The old truck is certainly evolving!
I got the custom aluminum tank from Boyd's Welding. Makes 2 sizes for these trucks. with or w/o efi setup...as well as building custom one off tanks for folks. I got this 19gal. on a group buy, for like $325-$350 shipped?

Thats awesome man. sounds real good. Im doing an LQ4 in my 71' C10. My Initial thoughts were to go carb with my setup, then I read your thread ( I already have a demon 650 carb, I also have a LS stand alone harness and ecu sitting on the shelf as well). If you were to do it again, would you go EFI or Carb from the start? Based on cost, total performance and tuning maintenance.

Also if you dont mind me asking, which Dynatech part number were your headers, and how well did they fit. they looked good in the photo

Can't say for sure as I'm still working out the bugs one the efi. I will say the carb'd setup was much simpler and ran great. I think the ultimate looking setup would be using a single plane carb intake with injectors/rails and a 102mm throttle body on top instead of a carb. Or maybe even a IR setup like harrop has.

I'll look for that number...given it out so many times I should have it memorized.

decided I'd just upload a pic...with the number on the header.



full size can be seen here:
Dynatech 115-909400

mine had a 30C on the end...which added ceramic coating. I've checked tho and this part# seems to be discontinued..and replaced with this # 715-29410?
