EFI Fuel Tank Kit for LS Swap in 1971-1972 Chevy El Camino
Fitting an LS engine into a 1971 to 1972 Chevy El Camino often exposes fuel delivery and clearance challenges on the A-Body chassis. This EFI fuel tank kit combines a 255 LPH Walbro pump with a notched tank design to maintain steady pressure under spirited acceleration while clearing exhaust pipes and wheel travel without cutting frame rails. Careful placement of the pump inlet at the tank base and precision mounting straps streamline installation and support engines up to 550 horsepower with no compromise in throttle feel.
Precision Notched Geometry for El Camino Chassis
The fuel tank features a finely angled cut along its lower edge to clear exhaust pipes and wheel travel on the A body chassis. By removing interference points, this design eliminates the need to bend fuel lines or modify suspension components, preserving the original ride height. The notched shape maintains compact packaging while preventing heat soak from nearby exhaust, keeping fuel temperatures stable during spirited driving. Installers can rely on factory dimensions to avoid frame rail trimming and uphold structural integrity throughout the chassis. The result is a seamless integration that supports both performance and reliability.
Pump Placement at Tank Base for Consistent Pressure
Housed within a sealed module, the 255 LPH Walbro pump sits at the tank bottom to draw fuel without interruption. This base position reduces air ingestion during cornering, hard launches, and steep inclines, ensuring steady pressure at the rails. With capacity to support engines up to 550 horsepower, the pump maintains flow even under heavy load for immediate throttle response. Sealed electrical and fluid connections simplify routing and protect against leaks or voltage drops. Drivers experience sharper acceleration as fuel delivery remains uniform at all engine speeds.
Complete Direct Fit Kit to Simplify Installation
This comprehensive kit bundles the fuel pump, sending unit, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets, straps, and mounting hardware for a seamless swap. Each component is engineered to match original 1971 to 1972 El Camino mounting points, reducing guesswork and trips to parts stores. Preassembled fittings and wiring connectors align with the stock chassis harness, cutting installation time by several hours. Clear instructions and precision brackets guide installers through each step, making it suitable for both home garage enthusiasts and professional shops. The result is a predictable workflow and minimal fitment issues from tank placement to final fill neck alignment.
Robust Construction with American-made Components
Manufactured entirely in the USA under strict quality controls, the tank and module undergo comprehensive leak and pressure testing before leaving the factory. High quality steel and corrosion-resistant finishes ensure long term durability even when subjected to fuel agitation and road vibration. TIG welding creates clean, uniform seams that resist cracking and maintain integrity under thermal cycling. Pump modules are calibrated for reliable output over thousands of operating hours, delivering consistent performance mile after mile. This commitment to domestic production guarantees easy access to replacement parts and expert support.
