1971-1972 Chevy Nova LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
For LS conversions in a 1971 to 1972 Chevy Nova X Body chassis this 255 LPH EFI fuel tank kit addresses the need for uninterrupted fuel delivery under high demand. It mounts directly to factory frame rail strap locations and aligns with the stock filler neck to eliminate clearance issues and fabrication work. Featuring an integrated module that houses pump filter and sending unit in a single sealed housing it streamlines installation and delivers consistent flow during hard acceleration or sustained track runs. American made fittings and hardware arrive preassembled to cut installation time and ensure leak free connections for builds up to 550 horsepower.
Factory Style Mounting for Effortless Nova X Body Installation
This fuel tank kit is engineered to align precisely with the 1971–1972 Chevy Nova X Body frame, reusing the original strap locations and filler neck position. By matching factory clearances under the rear apron, it removes the need for custom brackets or extensive fabrication. Foam-backed straps cradle the tank body, dampening vibration to protect weld seams and prevent hardware fatigue. Preassembled American fittings and gaskets arrive ready to install, ensuring leak-free connections and saving valuable shop time.
Sealed In Tank Assembly Enhancing System Reliability
The integrated module houses the fuel pump, sending unit and filter within a single sealed chamber, dramatically reducing the number of separate components and hose runs. Reinforced sealing surfaces guard against leaks over time, and the built-in vent filter keeps debris out of the system to protect both the pump internals and downstream injectors. A precision float design delivers accurate level readings, avoiding erratic gauge behavior during spirited cornering or sudden stops. This unified assembly simplifies the plumbing layout and eliminates potential failure points from loose fittings.
255 LPH Walbro Pump Delivering Consistent High Performance
At the heart of the system is a 255 LPH Walbro pump calibrated to support up to 550 horsepower. Fully submerged installation provides continuous liquid cooling, resisting vapor lock during hot days or extended track sessions. Its robust design minimizes cavitation under heavy acceleration, maintaining steady rail pressure and preventing lean spikes that can starve injectors. The result is reliable ECU feedback, predictable throttle response and smooth power delivery from idle through redline, even under demanding load conditions.
Strategic Pickup Placement to Eliminate Fuel Starvation
Fuel slosh during hard acceleration, braking or cornering can expose pump inlets in less optimized tanks, leading to intermittent lean conditions and hesitation. This kit positions the pickup tube at an ideal depth so the pump remains submerged at all times, matching real-world vehicle motion dynamics. By maintaining constant flow under lateral forces, it guarantees uninterrupted fuel delivery and consistent power output in every driving scenario. This thoughtful design ensures drivers experience seamless performance without hesitation or surging.
