I plan on dropping the tank tonight. Anyone know how much new tank/sending units usually go for and if GGSX ones are the same?

Quoting strokin4dr:
That is the crustiest sending unit eva!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif I hope the tank is okay.
I just dropped mine aswell and it looked worse. My tank had an inch of scale and sludge in the bottom. I ended up dropping the tank and powerwashing it out for 2 hours while wrapping on the sides and bottom with a hammer lightly to dis-lodge any loose scale. After I got it to stop puking out scale's, I sprayed the inside down with 2 cans of carb cleaner to remove the varnish. then coated the inside with a can of engine fogger to stop the rusting until I could put a full tank of gas and some STP along with a pint of 2cyle oil. That will help the rest of the varnish.

nice work in progress....I was curius what kind of engine stand is that and where did you buy it at? thanks, manitousxti
Umm, looks like you got some love stains on the seats there buddy.
Another small update. I found the motor mount bolts and a clutch and dropped the motor/trans in. The next thing on my list is source the driveshaft nuts and bolts and a couple more rear-end bolts, finish up the wiring, get the stock IC pipes and button up whatever other small things need attention then hopefully start it up. Anyways here are a couple pics of the motor in.
