Well I used my first tank as a guinea pig on building my E85 tank. In the end I didn't change my approach at all. So this tank is the same as what I built for my car with my new OEM fuel tank. All that would be needed is a fuel sump and a stainless steel port epoxied to the tank. I can build the port and epoxy it to the tank if interested. I'm asking $35 + shipping.

Sump not included...

Added updated pics below.
 
Ive been running E-85 in my truck lately, and for sure noticed a difference in power with all the towing I do now. Makes me interested in converting my coug to E-85, just not sure exactly whats all involved. If I got this tank from you and had you epoxy the port I would need the sump and new fuel lines? If this doesnt sell quick I will do some research into it once I get some time.
 
Almost... The sump is there to provide a means of running a bigger pump (ie Aeromotive A1000). So in addition to what you listed I would recommend a larger pump, most likely larger fuel injectors, and then you would need to cut your fuel filler neck down and use an E-85 rated hose (which I could provide as well for like $15 for a foot) to connect it to the port.

Also please note this is a 1998 SVT fuel tank, which I believe is slightly different then later model tanks (exhaust routing IIRC??)
 
Update pics since I've been getting PM's about this
