Default drop tank for ea

hey guys, just a quick question, were there any drop tanks made to suit an ea falcon. that is the old 26 gallon or 120litre fuel tanks.
ive seen a few vn/vp commies gettin around with them and i reckon they look good, the aluminium fuel tank bulging below the bumper
also if they are around, what sort of money am i looking at??

cheers
scott

Don't do that either?

With fuel costing $1.40 a litre and the extra weight, why would you want to?

Besides, Holden only have them because they still had metal tanks, unlike Fords!!

A couple of years ago I got quoted somewhere around $950 for a custom made 120L or 150L drop tank. Just head down to your local alluminium welding shop.

Any luck with the drop tank GTHOFAN?
I'd be interested to see what one of these would look like on an E series!
