1973-1974 LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump for X-Body Nova/Ventura/Apollo/Omega
Converting a 1973 to 1974 X Body Nova, Ventura, Apollo or Omega to LS power often exposes fuel supply shortfalls under cornering and hard acceleration. The 1973 to 1974 Nova EFI Fuel Tank Kit with the 255 LPH pump counters these issues by placing a Walbro module inside a corrosion resistant steel reservoir that draws cooler fluid from beneath the surface to limit vapor lock. Positioned to fit factory frame mounts without trimming or modifications this system avoids interference with suspension or brake hardware. It also includes all straps, sending unit, filler neck and vent filter for a single box install.
Optimized In Tank Pump Placement for Consistent Fuel Supply
Positioning the Walbro 255 LPH module entirely inside the reservoir allows the pump to draw cooler fuel from below the liquid surface. This arrangement minimizes exposure to hot fuel vapors that can cause cavitation or vapor lock during hard acceleration or sharp cornering. By maintaining stable inlet conditions, the pump delivers a precise flow that supports up to 550 horsepower applications without pressure drop. Cooler operating temperatures also reduce thermal stress on the pump motor, extending service life and preserving consistent injector response over long drives. The in tank design further simplifies plumbing by keeping all connections within the sealed environment of the tank.
Durable Powder Coated Steel Tank Construction
The tank is formed from heavy gauge steel and finished with a uniform powder coat that resists corrosion and road debris. This protective layer prevents rust from forming on both inner and outer surfaces, keeping contaminants out of the fuel system and preserving component integrity. Each unit undergoes a strict adhesion evaluation, ensuring that the finish will not flake or peel under harsh environmental conditions. Seam welding and post coat inspection guarantee that every seam holds tight under vibration and stress common to street and track use. Together these measures deliver a long lasting reservoir that safeguards fuel purity.
Precision Compatibility with 1973 to 1974 X Body Frames
This fuel tank kit is engineered to match the original mounts on Nova, Ventura, Apollo and Omega chassis produced in 1973 and 1974. Its contours avoid interference with suspension links, brake hardware or parking brake cables so no trimming or custom brackets are required. Installers benefit from a plug and play retrofit that retains factory ground clearance and preserves the original frame rails. Detailed guidance walks technicians through strap alignment, filler neck placement and vent line routing in logical order. The result is a seamless integration that maintains the vehicle's structural integrity and ride height.
Complete Kit with All Components for Efficient LS Conversion
Arriving in one box, this retrofit solution includes the Walbro pump, internal module, sending unit, filler neck, vent filter, straps, gaskets and full hardware set. Clear, step by step instructions guide installers through every phase from old tank removal to wiring the level sender, avoiding guesswork and reducing installation time. By consolidating all necessary parts, the kit eliminates trips to the parts store and cuts labor hours for both professional shops and home builders. Quality control on each component ensures compatibility and fitment right out of the box, giving installers confidence in every connection. This all in one approach streamlines the LS swap process while delivering reliable fuel delivery under all driving conditions.
