If there was something specific about the OE tank that was a show stopper among the resale crowd, he would have to do that. I am doing the work on the car and the owner understands that I can't tie up my shop and lift while he is searching the country for an OE gas tank. I would need to remove the tank and get one reinstalled and do whatever is necessary to get the car running in a week tops. I am getting too old to be pushing cars all over the property by myself. I just removed a blown-up engine from a 1970 SS 454 Chevelle today. Man, that thing was extremely hard to push around with power steering and that boat anchor of useless cast iron, AKA big block Chevy with 2 connecting rods punched through the oil pan and pieces of pistons and cylinder wall in the left exhaust manifold!! So much for that numbers matching car.
