Product Description
In 2003, Ford designed a special tank for the 03 and 04 Mustang Cobras. It looked like a regular tank on the outside, but had one of the best internal baffling systems we've ever seen in an OE tank. In late 2011, Ford stopped making these tanks. Aeromotive saw a chance to reproduce them. We not only offer reproduction 03 - 04 Cobra tanks, but also modify the tooling to fit all Fox Body Mustangs. And we took it a step further. We built A1000 and Eliminator Fuel Pumps that directly bolt onto the top of these tanks. Then we created a complete system with a single part number, giving you everything needed to install a full Aeromotive Fuel System in your Fox Body. These Fox Body Stealth tanks offer top - notch performance in a stock - looking tank, with our reliable A1000 or Eliminator fuel pumps built in. You can choose either pump and bolt in a fuel tank that looks stock but has an innovative baffling system, a built - in fuel pump for almost any hp demand, and a pre - pump filter. These tanks and systems are a direct fit for 1986 - 1998 ½ Ford Mustangs. Although the Fox Body was made from 1979 to 2004, some modifications are needed for a direct bolt - in.
