What gas tank do I have and will it support an LT1

I've got an early 260z and I know its not the right gas tank for an F.I. car. Thing is the previous owner swappen in a L28 from a 78 280z. The tank looks like it was replaced. It has an electric fuel pump just in front of the tank. This leads me to believe its the right one for an LT1 setup? Didn't the stock on that came with my early 260 have a mechanical setup? Are there any numbers I can look for?

The later 240s and the 260s had an electric pump and a mechanical pump (to overcome vapor lock I believe.)

You could swap in a newer tank from a FI 280Z, or keep your tank and upgrade the ports and lines. I don't believe the stock fuel lines are large enough. You could maybe use the stock feed line for the LT1 return line.

Do a search....some guys have installed sumps to the bottom of the stock tank.
