1971-1972 Chevy Nova X-Body LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
If you are undertaking an LS engine swap into a 1971 to 1972 Chevy Nova X body chassis and require a steadfast fuel supply the 1971 to 1972 Nova EFI Fuel Tank Kit 255 LPH Pump addresses that need. Designed for EFI fuel systems it includes a Walbro unit delivering up to 255 LPH and supporting 550 hp along with an integrated in tank module housing the pump and sending unit. This kit mounts using factory frame rail strap points and aligns with the original filler neck position to eliminate extra fabrication. Complete with straps gaskets mounting hardware and vent filter every part is made in the USA to ensure durable performance in high horsepower use.
Precision Application and Pump Performance
The 1971-1972 Nova EFI Fuel Tank Kit anchors modern fuel management to the classic Nova and Ventura platform. Engineered for exact-fit in the 1971-72 models, its design matches the original well shape to preserve clearance and maintain mounting points. At its core, the 255 LPH pump supports engine output up to 550 hp, ensuring stable fuel delivery under hard acceleration. This capacity prevents flow starvation when fuel demand peaks, maintaining consistent pressure at the injectors. As fuel requirements climb with cam, boost, or nitrous additions, the pump's margin helps drivers avoid lean surges and reduce the risk of detonation.
Rugged Construction for Reliable Operation
Crafted in the USA by MuscleRods, the tank and pump assembly use corrosion resistant steel and premium seals to withstand gasoline and ethanol blends for extended use. The integrated baffle pattern reduces fuel movement and maintains the pump's prime during high cornering or on steep grades. By directing fuel through a sealed chamber, the design minimizes vortex formation and prevents air entrapment, a common cause of hesitation during track runs or drag launches. This reliability boosts engine efficiency by preserving constant volumetric delivery, reducing pressure fluctuations that can harm pistons or valves.
MuscleRods Expertise and LS Compatibility
MuscleRods applied precision engineering to ensure seamless integration with LS engines in the 1971-72 Nova and Ventura chassis. The fuel outlet aligns with factory fuel lines, eliminating the need for custom bends or adapters. This targeted approach preserves proper drivetrain angles and pump placement, reducing the risk of premature wear or cavitation. By adhering to the original mounting geometry, installers benefit from simplified fitting and consistent performance without additional modifications. The result is an EFI upgrade that combines classic style with modern fuel delivery demands for street or competition use.
