F100 - Fuel Injection Conversion

In this video I walk through the process and reasoning behind adding an in-tank fuel pump to my restomod F100 project. I installed an Aermotive Phantom Stealth 18688 fuel pump into the 1970 mustang tank, that is installed in the rear of my F100.

Awesome man! Been looking forward to a new video!

Nice. Watching you do this reduces the intimidation factor a lot. Thanks.

[@330_garage3]

Glad it was helpful! - Makes the editing time and the video work worth it, when you guys let me know your car or truck is running again, because of my KZbin posts!!

[@justincarson5140]

Where did the vent terminate? I have everything run like you but don’t have any ideas on the vent plumbing:)

[@330_garage3]

hahaha good question. I just ran it back under the hood for now.. I need to find a charcoal canister or something to vent it through. I'm afraid its going to smell like gas in the garage. And I'm not sure if technically (legally) its supposed to have a roll-over valve in the vent line?

[@s3w349]

I know the video was done awhile ago but I will ask anyway. The fittings look like they stick above the frame. Any problem with the bed fitting flat?

[@330_garage3]

I'm still here haha, The bed floor braces that sit on the truck frame, raise the bed floor off the frame an extra 1.5" and give you clearance

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

Look I have carbed 65 F100 with a 5.0 , currently I have a Holly HLY-12-810 thats just bolted to my frame close to the stock tank IN the cab, will this electric frame mounted pump I have now pull the fuel from a rear mounted tank like yours???

[@330_garage3]

Sure it will. You would just need to extend the pick up line (feed line) to the rear of the truck.. and a return line if you are running one. But it would work just fine

[@Snakez011587]

Getting closer and closer :) looking great so far. I'm letting this channel be my motivation for my truck, but hopefully I can stop myself after the 390.

[@330_garage3]

hahaha I really liked that 390, I would think with some good brakes and fresh suspension you would have a fun driver! Glad its motivating you guys!

Hey Rob, how are you? wich gas tang form aeromotive do you mean? do you have the link? i want it for a coyote swap

[@ryano425]

Any chance you live close to NC? Have an F100 that is in the middle of this all being done to it and the guy doing the work decided he is retiring from the restoration business. Would be awesome if you wanna take the rest on?

No.. I'm actually in Texas. I just do this for fun on the side, I have a 9-5 job that gets in the way of my fun already.

LS? What happened to the 390?

[@martinmayhem7122]

Another great video Rob - I really enjoy how you describe everything and show us how you make these parts work properly in your design and application here. I think this setup is great, and I have been planning to use the Holley Sniper Returnless Retrofit Fuel Module and Sniper throttle body. Only because of the natural aspirated 428 CJ setup in my 67 F100. Your setup is going to work great with the LS, and setup properly for boost - when you need more fuel and pressure! I really like the Aeromotive setup with the foam installed in the tank. Merry Christmas man. Glad to see you're inspiring others. Keep up the great work! Enjoying your F100 build!

[@330_garage3]

Nice thanks for the great compliment! Glad you are enjoying it, and sounds like you have a pretty killer setup yourself with that 428CJ! Merry Christmas!

[@11TreyHenry11]

Great video! Happy to see I’ve done basically the same thing. Weird question on the mustang sending unit. Did you just extend the orange wire from the original tank to it and make your own ground? In cab sending unit had a ground but there’s no place on the mustang one for a ground wire? Haven’t tested to see if it works yet but would like to know before I go back on with the bed

[@330_garage3]

I ran a wire from the new mustang sending unit (same resistance 10 -80ohm as the original F100) to the cab and connected it to the orange wire that went to the original sending unit. The mustang tank seems to be well grounded to the frame, so no need to add that additional ground wire. I measured resistance from the new sending unit stud, to the frame, and saw 10 ohms with a full tank. Works well with the factory f100 gauge!

[@380.motorsports]

That poor Trans Am behind you. Turned into a shelf to hold up junk and a rusty hood from your truck. Oh the shame.

[@330_garage3]

hahah that trans am is up next in on the channel. I ordered a bunch of parts today, so I could make a video for getting it started again! Stay tuned

[@scootertipton8211]

Hey man you still got the old dream beams from your old lowering kit before the crown vic swap??

No, I never lowered the front. I only lowered the rear of the truck. I do still have that rear lowering kit, I put it back in the box when I did the 4 link.

[@charlesgayhart6463]

Lovin your channel... I’ve seen other videos saying that you should run your feed line straight to the rail and to your regulator after the rail.. I’m not sure if it matters but it might be worth looking in to...

[@330_garage3]

Thanks! Yeah I have seen guys set them up all different ways. If it becomes a problem, I don't think it will be hard to change. I spent a few hours reading arguments on the LS1Tech forum... and decided to set it up where the regulator feeds the rails.

Why not use a tank form a 90-95 f150 they were efi and should bolt right in and just upgrade the pump

don't those trucks have a much wider frame... and don't most the 90 -96' have a saddle tank?

Hey Rob, great series of videos. Your truck is probably completed by now and I’m sure you’re enjoying the heck out of it. I’m working on a ‘65 F100 and plan on using a lot your ideas on mine. So why did you choose not to use the Aeromatic fuel pump that came with the kit?

Re: The bed mounting video. It's too late now,,,, but the spring hangers and 5th wheel mounts on big trucks use some sort of giant nut sert in the frame.

[@330_garage3]

I just ran the vent back to the engine bay, I need to figure that part out, maybe run it through a charcoal filter so it doesn't stink up the garage.... I think it may legally require a roll-over valve in it as well?

I paln on doing cv swap 8.8 4link. Could you recommend a 110v mig, or do you think a 110v mig can do this kind of work?

[@330_garage3]

Yeah quite a few of the 110v machines will do 3/16" steel in a single pass. Plenty for doing a frame, etc. Check out the Lincoln Weld Pak 140 HD MIG Wire Feed. 140amps will weld a project like this just fine. The duty cycle gets pretty short when you run them at full power like that, so you have to weld a little, and let the machine cool. But it will do it.
