what car is it going in?
Capri 
I've got a custom aluminium fuel tank it will hang under neatly. If I don't fit a lower rear apron it will show but that might look nice if it polishes up well. depends what SS it is. My ecu will run the bypasses no problem… on the Ferrari they open at 3.5k in all gear but 4th where they open 4.5k. I can map it however i like. Tube manifolds are nearly done, all i need is down pipes and pipes to rear. The Ferrari only has this and the cats before it and is concidered tame so should be fine, i hope. If not I'll weigh it in for scrap for more than a tenner

My neighbour bought one of the last (280) Capri's, had it stolen, police found it with wheels and seats missing, could have been saved until recovery company dragged it onto a flatbed without it's wheels and wrecked it
so insurance company wrote it off.

same thing happened to my cousins escort cosworth, it was nicked and they couldn't get the wheels off (locking nuts) so the honed around in it, and dumped it into a bit of a ditch, it would have been fine until the recovery guy winched it out sideways, the wheels dug it and pulled it onto its side then roof.
