255 LPH EFI Fuel Tank Kit for 1962-1965 Chevy II/Nova LS Swaps
If you are installing an LS engine in a 1962 through 1965 Chevy II or Nova X Body chassis, maintaining a steady fuel flow under spirited throttle inputs is essential and this EFI fuel tank kit with its integrated 255 LPH Walbro pump delivers just that. Installation is simplified by a steel reservoir contoured to factory floorpan geometry and preformed straps that secure directly to original mounting points. Inside the tank the pump sits at the lowest position to reduce heat soak and a built in check valve retains prime after shutdown. A corrosion resistant coating on American made steel ensures long service life in any environment.
Precision Contoured Reservoir for 1962 1965 Chevy II X Body
The steel reservoir is carefully shaped to match factory floor pan geometry of 1962 through 1965 Chevy II and Nova models. This precision fit ensures the sending unit aligns with the original gauge wiring harness to maintain accurate fuel level readings without additional modifications. By engaging the stock mounting points, installers avoid cutting frame rails or fabricating brackets, preserving the vehicle underbody profile and suspension clearance. The consistent contour also prevents fuel shift during cornering by maintaining steady flow to the pump inlet. Reliable fitment translates into faster installations and protection of classic chassis lines.
Strategic In Tank Pump Placement for Heat Reduction and Prime Retention
Positioning the 255 LPH Walbro pump at the lowest point inside the reservoir minimizes heat soak by keeping it submerged in cooler fuel. This location lowers the risk of vapor lock under hard driving and ensures consistent flow even when the tank level is low. An internal check valve retains prime after shutdown so the engine starts readily without extra cranking, enhancing reliability on street or track. Rated to support up to 550 horsepower, the pump sustains smooth volume under surge conditions to prevent lean spots and maintain stable pressure at wide open throttle. By housing the module within the tank, there is no need for external pump hangers or additional brackets, keeping the undercarriage tidy.
Durable Steel Construction with Corrosion Guard Finish
Manufactured in the USA from heavy gauge steel, the tank features TIG weld seams that resist fatigue and cracking under chassis movement and road vibration. A corrosion guard finish applied inside and out shields the metal from moisture, road salt, and debris for extended service life in any environment. Uniform wall thickness helps damp slosh noise for a quieter ride, while reinforced support ears and preformed straps maintain shape under load and prevent movement that could stress fuel lines or mounting points. This robust construction delivers lasting protection for critical fuel system components.
Complete Hardware Kit Streamlining LS Swap Integration
This all-in-one kit includes every component needed to integrate EFI into a classic X Body chassis without aftermarket fabrication. Preformed straps and mounting brackets align directly with factory rail locations to cradle the tank securely. A calibrated sending unit installs into the top hat and matches factory gauge resistance to eliminate splicing. The filler neck and vent filter manage airflow and block contaminants during refueling, while gaskets and hardware are tailored to each flange for leak free sealing. By packaging pump, module, straps, sending unit, and all accessories in a single solution, this fuel tank kit accelerates project completion and reduces installation complexity.
