1971-1972 Chevy Nova X-Body LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
When upgrading a 1971 to 1972 Chevy Nova to an LS engine, the Nova EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump ensures you get steady fuel flow under demanding conditions. This kit centers around a 255 LPH Walbro pump capable of maintaining consistent rail pressure for builds up to 550 horsepower. It installs directly into the Nova and Ventura X body chassis using factory mounts and places the pickup at the correct depth to prevent starvation in corners or during hard acceleration. Included tank straps, vent filter, gaskets, and American-made hardware provide a complete solution for both home enthusiasts and professional shops.
Precision Engine Fit for Nova X Body Chassis
This fuel tank kit is engineered to drop directly into the 1971 and 1972 Chevy Nova and Ventura X body chassis, aligning with original mounting points for a seamless installation. By matching the stock tank footprint, it minimizes trimming and modification, letting builders maintain structural integrity and focus on other aspects of the swap. The correct pickup depth is built in to prevent fuel starvation during hard acceleration and sustained cornering, ensuring consistent supply no matter how aggressive your driving style. Installation confidence is further boosted by foam-lined straps that secure the tank against vibration and road shock while preserving factory clearance.
Consistent 255 LPH Fuel Flow Supporting 550 HP Engines
At the heart of this kit is a 255 LPH Walbro pump, calibrated to maintain steady rail pressure for power levels up to 550 horsepower. This flow rate smooths out voltage and pressure spikes, yielding crisper throttle response and more efficient combustion under load. The in-tank design situates the pump below the fuel level to aid cooling and reduce cavitation, which can rob performance during sustained high-rpm pulls. Whether on the street or track, you’ll notice uniform fuel delivery even during cornering where less optimized systems might falter.
Complete In Tank Module and Installation Components
Everything required for installation arrives in one package, including the in-tank module, sending unit, tank straps, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets, and mounting hardware. The integrated module features reinforced sealing surfaces to stop leaks and resist corrosion, while the precision sending unit delivers accurate fuel level readings to the dash. Vent filtration keeps contaminants out of the shell, protecting both pump and engine. By eliminating multiple part orders, this comprehensive kit streamlines your build and reduces downtime on the workbench.
