1968-1970 Chevy El Camino Fuel Tank Kit for LS and LT Swaps
An LS or LT conversion in a classic 1968 to 1970 Chevy El Camino often stalls on installing a modern fuel system due to clearance conflicts and missing components. The 1968-1970 El Camino EFI Fuel Tank Kit 400 LPH Pump Notched delivers a ready to install solution that mounts to factory A Body points without cutting or grinding. Its notched profile clears dual exhaust and larger tires while preserving full capacity. A submerged module houses a 400 liter per hour Walbro pump suited for engines over 550 horsepower. The kit includes sending unit, filler neck, vent filter, tank straps, gaskets and hardware so installers can focus on wiring and tuning.
Notched Fuel Tank Design
The 1968-1970 El Camino EFI Fuel Tank Kit features a notched tank shell that provides precise clearance for both exhaust components and rear wheels. By reshaping the lower panel, the design accommodates larger diameter pipes and aggressive offset wheels without interference during suspension travel. This modification preserves factory ride height and suspension geometry while preventing contact between heat sources and the tank body. Careful metal shaping ensures consistent weld integrity and leak free seams, delivering a reliable foundation for any A-Body El Camino LS or LT engine conversion.
400 LPH Walbro Pump Performance
At the heart of this kit lies a 400 LPH in tank pump from Walbro, engineered to supply ample volume for supercharged or over 550 horsepower LS and LT setups. The pump’s design promotes stable pressure under rapid throttle changes, reducing risk of fuel starvation and ensuring consistent spray patterns from the injectors. Its internal baffling minimizes fuel slosh during cornering and acceleration, while the sealed motor assembly resists heat from the fuel. Together, these features guarantee smooth operation even when pushing output limits, making it ideal for track use or spirited street performance.
MuscleRods Compatibility and Installation
This complete EFI fuel tank installation package is tailored for direct fitment in A-Body El Caminos undergoing LS or LT swaps. It works seamlessly with MuscleRods engine mounts to maintain correct engine position and drivetrain angles, preserving driveline geometry and reducing vibration. All required hardware and mounting plates are included for a straightforward assembly process. Every component is manufactured in the USA, with precision tooling to match factory dimensions and to ensure proper seal surfaces. The result is a turnkey solution that unites efficient fuel delivery, simplified installation and reliable long term performance for high output applications.
