I know CRG is focused on first gen, but there is lots off fantastic second gen info. A few years ago I poured through all the documentation and value all that has been shared.
I am building a '72 Pontiac Trans Am for vintage racing. I am fortunate enough to have found a 303 block to go with the RAIV heads, Nash intake and 2.87" Moldex crank I already had. Project has be on the stove for a while; but getting back on it after a two-year life detour. The shortened pan has been finished and the 180 degree headers completed.
I am hopeful someone can share thoughts/pictures/recommendation of location and any dry sump tanks from the ’71 or ’72 season. This will help me zero in on what I should use and have made. A Moon tank comes to mind and the Moroso custom shop can build something which mirrors and looks like the period.
A picture of the tank in the Team Associates Trans Am would be the cat's pajamas, but I’ve found so few pictures of that car.
Four notes—
1. Penske Javelin is a great reference point. I believe that this set-up is the most correct for the period.
2. The GCR said in front of the firewall and separated from the driver. Like batteries in the '70 season, a boxed cut-out seams plausible.
3. I've heard the Team Associates car had it on the passenger floor. I’ve seen period IMSA in the trunk and other Historic Trans-Am cars on the floor.
4. The Gray Ghost has it in the passenger cowl. There are some great shots of it on a mode building forum:
