I think, and someone please correct me if im wrong here, is the fuelk tank location. With the SBC/LS engines you have to have the fuel ceels mounted in the standard location. With the audi V8s and i think V10s you can mount the fuel sell in fornt of the engine and therefoore free up the side pod area. Is that right everyone?.......

Yes, you can put a tank there,
with a audi V10 like mine it can be
14 cm deep, 40 cm high and 80 cm sideways: 45 liter that is.

At the moment, I am working on it.
For me it is a catchtank 14x35x70= 34 liter

I will make pictures, in the process.

My LS7 powered GTR has one tank located behind the rear bulkhead, it holds 80 ltrs and is sandwitched between 2 fire walls with a additional heat reflector on the engine side.

The balance point of the car is just in front of it so it will not make any real difference to the balance of the car whether the tank is full or empty.

I would be very interested to know how much you can actually squeeze in size of liters behind the seats, I personally thing that space has hardly any use at all,
apart from being the place I want to store my hardtop (if I ever get it finished).
It is the most protected area in the car and in the middle of it, not too bad, still I have not seen anybody doing it ?

Rusti's car had 80 odd litres in that position with LS engine i believe

Well if you make the tank double high ,
you will get double capacity.
But I don't think; you want a tank 80 cm high.

What about a safety cell in between? I like the idea as it centers the masses.

[donkeasy]

I did not do that because I could not find one that fits there.
If I had konown I would have probarly done that.
Would have been an expensive one though,
look when the alumnium one is ready.

Sorry, not got any pics as the car was already built when i bought it. Does hold 80 ltrs though. As far as i know the tank was custom made for the job.

[donkeasy]

how are the dimensions do you guess?
