1971-1972 Chevy Nova EFI Fuel Tank Kit 400 LPH Pump for LS/LT Swaps
For enthusiasts fitting a supercharged LS or LT engine into a 1971 to 1972 Nova X-Body, every horsepower demands a reliable fuel supply. This kit features a submerged 400 LPH Walbro pump housed in a heavy gauge steel tank molded specifically for the Nova frame rails so no cutting or welding is required. An internal regulator holds steady pressure from idle through sustained high throttle runs and the tank’s internal baffles prevent fuel surges during cornering. Complete with a sending unit, filler neck, straps and all necessary hardware, installation moves quickly and preserves factory underfloor clearance.
Submerged Walbro 400 LPH Pump for Reliable Fuel Flow
The Walbro 400 LPH unit sits completely below the fuel level inside the tank, drawing a cool supply and cutting down on heat soak that can cause vapor lock. Its integrated regulator holds steady pressure from idle through full throttle, preventing lean spots when you need power most. Being immersed in raw fuel also dampens operational noise, turning pump whine into a subtle hum. This design keeps the engine fed during extended track laps or hard street runs, ensuring stable delivery for engines exceeding 550 horsepower. By eliminating reliance on external pump mounts, it simplifies plumbing and electrical routing for a cleaner install.
Direct Bolt In Fit for 1971 and 1972 Nova Frame Rails
This tank has been engineered to drop into the original mounting rails on 1971 and 1972 Nova X-Body chassis without cutting or welding, preserving the classic underbody profile. Precision formed contours clear driveshaft and suspension components while maintaining factory ground clearance. Installers simply slide the tank into place, align mounting holes, then secure with the supplied straps and bolts. This bolt in system removes alignment guesswork and delivers a factory-like fit that retains structural integrity. Whether you're tackling your first swap or your fiftieth, the process stays quick and predictable.
Heavy Gauge Steel Tank with Internal Baffles
Fabricated from American heavy gauge steel, the tank resists physical impact and shields against corrosion for years of dependable service. Critical weld seams are reinforced to prevent stress cracking, while carefully shaped internal baffles keep fuel from sloshing away from the pump during tight cornering or sudden stops. That surge control is essential for maintaining uninterrupted flow when the engine demands every drop. A chemically resistant interior coating accommodates modern ethanol blends, protecting seals and ensuring reliable operation in any fuel formulation. Together, these design choices deliver stable delivery across all driving conditions.
Comprehensive Kit Components for a Fast Installation
This all inclusive kit bundles every part needed for a single-session install, reducing trips to the parts store. The in-tank pump module and sending unit arrive pre-assembled to match Nova fuel lines and electrical connectors. Tank straps, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets and all hardware are included, so you can complete the swap without hunting for extras. By providing a fully matched package, the kit streamlines setup for both novice enthusiasts and seasoned mechanics, cutting garage time and eliminating fitment frustrations.
