yep - seen it done many times
It all depends on what you call stuffing around? there is the brackets to mount the tank, the fuel filler section being cut into the rear panel, reconecting of fuel sender & fuel lines Is it extra capacity you are chasing, there is a difference between them around 10 litres side tank 40.5, drop tank I think is 49.. |

I've seen guys running both tanks in their Escorts. I have a couple of spare drop tanks for sale $50 if you are interested.
