1971-1972 Chevy El Camino EFI Fuel Tank for LS and LT Swaps
Dropping an LS or LT mill into a 1971 to 1972 Chevy El Camino demands a fuel system that holds steady under hard acceleration and this EFI fuel tank kit featuring a 400 LPH pump supplies ample volume to support up to 550 hp without lean spots. Installation follows original A-Body mounting points so the tank, filler neck, straps and gaskets all bolt in without cutting or welding. Crafted from thick steel with internal baffles and a precision vent filter the assembly resists corrosion and maintains consistent internal pressure. Together these components make it easy to keep the engine primed on street or track runs.
Precision Fit Integration with 1971-1972 El Camino A Body
This EFI fuel tank kit is engineered to align exactly with the factory mounting points on the 1971-1972 Chevy El Camino A Body frame, ensuring a seamless installation process. By matching the original bracket locations for the tank straps, filler neck and gaskets, it eliminates the need for cutting or welding and preserves the vehicle's structural integrity. Installers benefit from clear component fitment and minimal adjustments, reducing the chance of misalignment or fluid leaks. Even first time engine swap enthusiasts will find the bolt-in design intuitive, allowing them to focus on wiring and plumbing rather than metalwork. The plug and play approach supports a tidy underbody and maintains the classic appearance of the El Camino.
400 LPH Walbro Pump Flow and Engine Support
At the core of this assembly is a high efficiency 400 LPH Walbro pump rated to sustain engines producing over 550 horsepower, providing a consistent supply under wide open throttle. Its precision matched flow curve keeps rail pressure steady during rapid changes in demand, preventing cavitation and lean spots that could harm internal components. A stable output under boost or direct injection applications also contributes to more linear throttle response, so power delivery remains smooth whether on the street or at the track. The pump module sits inside the tank to maintain cool fuel temperatures and extend service life. Together, these qualities give drivers the confidence to push their LS or LT swap to its limits without hesitation.
Robust Steel Tank Body and Internal Baffle Design
Crafted from thick gauge steel and coated to resist corrosion, the fuel tank body withstands moisture, road salt and temperature cycling common in underbody environments. Internal baffles are strategically placed to control fuel movement, preventing slosh during hard cornering, sudden stops or uneven pavement. This stability allows the in-tank pump to draw from a consistent fuel volume, avoiding starvation when the tank is not completely full. Heavy-duty straps secure the assembly firmly against the chassis, minimizing vibration and noise. These features combine to deliver long term durability and protect the integrity of your fuel delivery system under demanding driving conditions.
Integrated Vent Filtration and Level Sensing System
Maintaining balanced internal pressure is vital for reliable injection performance, and this kit's integrated vent filter achieves that by allowing air to enter as fuel is drawn out. By preventing a vacuum from forming in the tank, it keeps the pump primed and eliminates surging or hesitation under load. The included sending unit offers accurate fuel level readings, so drivers can monitor consumption and plan pit stops with confidence. Both components come preassembled in the pump module, simplifying installation and wiring. Together they ensure consistent pressure, precise metering and dependable operation throughout spirited street runs and competitive laps.
Built to maintain consistent pressure under spirited driving this assembly ensures reliable operation on street or track. To complete your Smaller capacity fuel pump Kit at 255 LPH consider our 1971-1972 El Camino EFI Fuel Tank Kit - 255 LPH Pump.
