The guy I spoke to said they’ve done 3… not really a huge vote of confidence

Thank you for that advice. Seems to make sense, and the thought had crossed my mind regarding the strength.
I do have the original chevy mounts, but not the frame tabs.
Maybe I'll reboot on that.
What have you guys with the LS swaps been doing for gas tanks? The LS just uses a regular pump, right?
I'm planning on using the factory pwm chevy pump, so that likely means modifying a tank to accommodate it, or custom tank fabrication.
On other forms, I've seen lots of talk of using a F150 tank in the original spare tire location. But these have been trucks and 4runners.
I found a thread here that used an old camero tank, but not much else.

@DangerNoodle I would recommend proffitts in Colorado. Don't be afraid to travel for a project like that. It's a big investment.
I used the factory tank with a aeromotive stealth 340 in tank pump, and the wiring kit to go with it.

Leave the tank alone. The stock pump is enough unless you’re modding the engine for significantly more HP. A simple upgraded pump in the stock location is plenty adequate.
This^^^
A Walbro 255lph or Supra turbo pump are pretty much drop in, and plenty of pump if you are going north of 400hp.
Huge day boys! She drives! Special thanks to Texas Custom 4x4 who has an awesome FJ62 brought back from the dead. And cable dude with his help on the shifter! Had to mod it from his method a bit for a 4L80 but in theory it’s the same. Shifting like butter.
Triple Locked action! All
Working after replace the lock switches! Rebuild transfer case motor as well! Huge relief.

Well, 2 problems. Maybe 3.
This isn't an LS
The chevy LT system uses a pulse width modified (pwm) signal to drive the pump. Variable speed, basically. No return fuel line.
And 2nd... i have 2 stock tanks. Both are absolute junk.
3rd, the center driveshaft location now might have interfered with the stock tank anyway.
What the hell - 4. Would like increased capacity.
So that big open space in the rear of the frame is just too tempting.
I’m not sure older LT trucks use that pulse system. Older don’t. Mine has a return on the fuel rail so I was able to keep the Toyota system almost stock. I think it depends on your year. I’m running the stock. Toyota system. Not sure what you mean by center drive shaft? I can take some pictures if you need any help.Well, 2 problems. Maybe 3.

What is the reason you want to use that fuel pump module?

What Cold Air Intake do y’all suggest I use to be placed in same area where the original air filter sits on the 92 80 series? Connected to the LS 5.3 , air raid, K&N, rough County?
Yes. But I've got a spare pair too if we break one.
9.5" Full floater 4.11.
Not sure yet about gearing. Maybe the 4.11 will work. Will be running 35's. The 6l90 1st ratio is 4.03 and sixth is 0.67.
The atlas t case has 3:1 low range.
The full floater is a major reason we went with the 80 series.
It maintains stock components, and will work with the pwm signal.
Is there a better way for the L8T?
this is what i did
works perfect ceap and easy to do
poor man auxiliary tank installation
starting my auxiliary tank installation don't have all parts but will post pictures as i go got the tank off salvage yard for 50 $ with sending unit and bottom protective metal i got some idea about dual fill but not done yet ..

why did you replace the lock switches? also, where did you find a rebuild kit for the transfer case motor?
