I never measured tray to tank clearance. Haha. Also the size of the flanges is bigger than the top half of the tank is tall. I'll prob have to adjust / cut out and weld flat sheet to take out the top edge for the hoses to "fit" between the 2. Holley hydromat would be a far easier but more expensive ...

Haha, yeh I was puckered up the first time I stuck the grinder into them. Even though they sat empty in the sun for a good 2 years and should have evaporated everything out, I stuck a hose in them for a good 1/2 hour and first cuts were when they were still full of water. Pump hangers and angles sho...

If you're going to this much effort why didn't you retro fit a gen 4 rear end in there?
