1970 Chevy Nova LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
When fitting an LS engine into a 1970 Chevy Nova maintaining consistent fuel delivery under sudden throttle demands prevents lean spots that can harm drivability. This EFI fuel tank kit pairs a 255 LPH Walbro pump with a stainless steel shell that resists ethanol corrosion while supporting up to 550 horsepower without pressure drop. It attaches to the X-Body frame rails using factory mounting points and precise tolerances to preserve the original underbody profile without sheet metal modification. With hoses tank straps sender hardware and a vent filter all included installers can focus on tuning the LS swap rather than sourcing parts.
Direct Fit Underbody Mounting for 1970 Chevy Nova X-Body
The tank is engineered to match the original 1970 Nova X-Body frame rails and filler neck location, ensuring precise alignment without altering factory sheet metal. Tight dimensional tolerances create a secure fit that resists movement and helps maintain the car's original ground clearance. By using factory attachment points, this design eliminates the need for trimming or fabrication and preserves the Nova's classic underbody profile. The result is a stable platform that holds the LS engine's fuel system in place even under spirited cornering and rough road surfaces.
Walbro 255 LPH Pump for Consistent High-Flow Fuel Delivery
At the heart of the kit lies a Walbro 255 LPH pump designed to handle engines up to 550 hp while maintaining a steady output under sudden throttle changes. Its brushless motor design reduces internal wear and keeps electrical noise to a minimum, preserving engine management accuracy. An integrated mesh inlet screen protects against debris in the fuel, extending service intervals and reducing the risk of starvation during rapid acceleration. Stable flow characteristics across a wide range of engine speeds guarantee responsive throttle handling and help prevent lean conditions that can damage internal components.
Stainless Steel Tank Construction for Ethanol Resistance
Constructed from thick stainless steel, the tank resists ethanol induced corrosion and moisture related degradation that can plague conventional materials. Interior surfaces are left smooth to discourage sediment buildup and simplify cleaning during routine maintenance. Precision welds are pressure tested to ensure leak free operation under vibration and temperature variations common in street and track use. This robust approach to materials and fabrication translates into reliable service life and peace of mind as the Nova evolves from daily driver to performance machine.
Integrated Kit Components Streamline EFI Installation
This complete assembly includes the fuel pump module, in tank sending unit, straps, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets and all required hardware to eliminate parts hunting. By matching each component for fit and function, installers can follow a single workflow and reduce the chance of compatibility issues. Preassembled sub components speed up the installation on the X Body chassis, keeping project time on track and minimizing vehicle downtime. The simplified process allows builders to focus on final tuning and calibration instead of fabrication details.
