EFI Fuel Tank Kit for LS Swap in 1971-1972 Buick Skylark
Tackling an LS swap in a 1971 or 1972 Buick Skylark demands reliable fuel delivery, and the 1971-1972 Skylark EFI Fuel Tank Kit with a 255 LPH pump meets that need. Made from heavy duty galvanized steel with a silver powder coat finish, this kit installs using the stock filler neck opening and factory mounts for direct bolt in installation. The submerged 255 LPH pump supports engines up to 550 hp, while internal baffling prevents fuel slosh under braking and cornering. A precision sending unit fits the original opening for accurate fuel level readings. Complete with straps, neck, vent filter, gaskets and hardware, it simplifies LS swap installation and offers lasting corrosion resistance.
1971 and 1972 Skylark EFI Fuel Tank Kit 255 LPH Pump
The 1971 and 1972 Skylark EFI Fuel Tank Kit 255 LPH Pump delivers a factory like package tailored for original Skylark floor pans. This kit replaces the stock reservoir without cutting or bending sheet metal. A Walbro 255 liter per hour pump is preinstalled to handle fuel demands up to 550 horsepower. The heavy gauge steel shell is galvanized and completed in a silver powder coat to resist rust and abrasion. Precision stamped contours mate to the underbody without extra brackets. Inside the tank, baffling chambers control fluid movement so the pump inlet never pulls air even under hard launch or corner pressure. That stability maintains consistent fuel flow and prevents lean condition risk that could damage injectors or pistons.
Robust Flow and Consistent Delivery
At the core of this assembly is a high capacity pump engineered for sustained performance. Compared to many factory replacements, the Walbro unit holds pressure at aggressive throttle and recovers quickly when demand spikes. Internal baffles are arranged to limit surge effects and preserve a steady supply regardless of g forces. This arrangement is critical for modern engines with tight fuel trims and elevated injection pressures. The galvanized steel body and protective coating also contribute to thermal resistance and guard against environmental corrosion. Together these features ensure that fuel delivery remains precise on long road trips and spirited runs alike.
Seamless LS and LT Conversion Compatibility
The tank is designed for direct bolt in use on LS and LT engine conversions. It aligns with MuscleRods engine mounts to secure proper engine location and maintain ideal drivetrain angle. This precise integration reduces vibration and drivetrain wear by keeping the driveshaft centerline within factory spec. A precision engineered sender assembly monitors fuel level with the same accuracy as the original gauge and installs in the factory sending unit socket. Clearly labeled terminals simplify wiring and let you complete the system without guesswork. The result is a turnkey solution for a reliable fuel system on your EFI Skylark project.
