1962-1965 Chevy II/Nova X-Body LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
If you are swapping an LS engine into a 1962 through 1965 Chevy II or Nova X Body chassis you need a steady fuel supply. The 1962-1965 Chevy II EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump houses a 255 LPH Walbro pump inside a steel reservoir with corrosion resistant coating and aligns directly with the original sending unit for accurate gauge readings. Mechanics will value the included straps and hardware that allow installation without modifying the frame rails. Its precisely shaped profile matches factory clearances around suspension and exhaust to preserve underbody integrity.
Precision Fit for 1962 1965 Chevy II X Body Chassis
The steel reservoir is shaped to match the original floorpan contours of stock Chevy II and Nova X Body models, allowing it to secure directly to factory mounting points without any frame modification. This exacting geometry ensures the sending unit lines up perfectly with the stock gauge harness, preserving true fuel level readings and the vehicle's underbody profile. Installers save time and avoid guesswork since there is no need to cut rails or fabricate brackets. Clearances around suspension and exhaust remain factory correct, preventing interference during severe travel. The result is a restoration friendly solution that blends originality with modern EFI demands.
Integrated In Tank Walbro Pump for Consistent Fuel Delivery
At the heart of the design is a 255 LPH Walbro fuel pump located at the lowest point of the reservoir to reduce heat soak and prevent vapor lock under load. An internal check valve maintains prime after engine shutdown, which allows reliable restarts even when fuel level is low. The pump is rated to support up to 550 hp, delivering steady volume and pressure when the throttle is wide open. By enclosing the module within the tank, there is no need for external pump hangers or additional brackets. The compact assembly keeps the undercarriage tidy and simplifies routing of fuel lines.
Robust Steel Construction with Corrosion Guard Coating
This fuel tank is formed from thick gauge American made steel that resists impact and flex without cracking or leaking. Each seam is TIG welded to create a strong joint that withstands chassis movement and road vibration. Inside and out, a corrosion guard coating repels moisture, road salt and corrosive debris for lasting protection in any climate. Uniform wall thickness also helps to damp slosh noise once the tank is partially filled. Reinforced support ears maintain shape under load to ensure the tank holds its precise fit over years of service.
Engineered Hardware Bundle for Simplified Installation
Included straps and brackets are preformed to cradle the tank on the X Body frame rails, eliminating the need for custom fabrication. A calibrated sending unit installs in the top hat and aligns with factory wiring to retain accurate gauge readings without splicing. The filler neck and vent filter work together to allow smooth fueling operations while blocking dirt and debris from entering the system. Gaskets and mounting hardware are matched to the reservoir flanges for leak free sealing. By packaging all necessary components in one kit, installers gain the confidence of a complete solution that accelerates project timelines.
