LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump for 1971-1972 Chevy Nova X-Body
If you are tackling an LS engine swap into a 1971 to 1972 Chevy Nova X Body chassis and need uninterrupted supply under load the 1971 to 1972 Nova EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump ensures your modification will not be held back by a weak stock system. Designed to mount on factory frame rail strap points and match the original filler neck position it sidesteps clearance issues and cuts out extra fabrication work. By housing pump filter and sending unit in a single sealed module this kit delivers consistent fuel flow during sustained acceleration and spirited cornering while American made fittings and hardware arrive ready to install and ensure leak free connections.
Exact Fit Frame Rail Attachment for Nova Chassis
This fuel tank kit reuses the original strap mounting points on the 1971 to 1972 Chevy Nova X Body frame rails, maintaining factory clearances beneath the rear apron. By aligning with the stock filler neck position, it eradicates the need for custom brackets or costly metalwork, saving installation hours. Foam-backed tank straps cushion the assembly, absorbing vibration and protecting weld seams from fatigue over time. With precise geometry engineered for the Nova chassis, installers benefit from a drop-in fit that retains the vehicle's original underbody profile.
Unified In Tank Module for Seamless Assembly
The sealed module design integrates the fuel pump, filter and sending unit into a single housing, dramatically reducing the number of individual connections and hose runs inside the tank. Reinforced sealing surfaces and a built-in vent filter guard against leaks and keep contamination out of fuel rails and injectors. A calibrated float mechanism offers consistent level readings, eliminating erratic gauge behavior when the car is cornering or braking hard. Consolidating key components into one assembly simplifies plumbing and minimizes potential failure points during spirited driving sessions.
Walbro 255 LPH Pump Empowering LS Deliveries
At the core of this system sits a Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump capable of supporting up to 550 hp, ensuring steady flow under heavy load. Fully submerged installation maximizes liquid cooling around the unit, resisting vapor lock even during extended track outings or on sweltering days. The pump's robust internal design prevents cavitation during sudden throttle openings, maintaining precise rail pressure and smooth power delivery. This consistent fuel supply translates to reliable ECU feedback and predictable throttle response across the entire rpm range.
Domestic Hardware and Fittings for Leak Free Service
Every fitting, gasket and mounting bolt in this kit is proudly manufactured in the United States, reflecting stringent quality controls and material standards. Preassembled American-made fittings arrive ready to install, reducing the risk of loose or mismatched connectors that can lead to seepage. Included tank straps, gaskets and vent filter hardware not only shorten shop time but also ensure each seal meets factory-equivalent tolerances. This all-in-one package provides builders with confidence that every connection will remain secure under high-stress, high-horsepower operation.
