1971-1972 Chevy El Camino EFI Fuel Tank Kit for LS and LT Swaps
Dropping a modern LS or LT engine into a 1971-1972 Chevy El Camino often runs into clearance and flow issues, and this EFI fuel tank kit tackles both with a precision notched tank body and a 400 LPH Walbro pump. Its contour matches the A body chassis, providing clearance for exhaust plumbing and rear tire travel without cutting sheet metal. Installers benefit from a fully integrated pump module that plugs into existing GM wiring and mounts in original strap locations. Durable American made straps, gaskets, and vent filters ensure consistent fuel pressure during heavy throttle or forced induction driving.
Precision Notch Design for Exhaust and Suspension Clearance
The precision notch in the fuel tank body follows the contour of the early El Camino A Body frame to clear exhaust plumbing and full rear wheel movement without any sheet metal trimming. By preserving the original tank shell, installers save time on fitment and retain factory integrity around suspension mounts. This carefully shaped pocket maintains weight distribution and keeps handling predictable during cornering or when the ride height is lowered. Even under heavy loads the notched profile prevents contact with exhaust or chassis components, ensuring uninterrupted performance.
Integrated Fuel Pump Module for Direct GM Wiring Connection
This kit includes a fully assembled in tank fuel pump module that aligns the sending unit and 400 LPH Walbro pump to the original filler neck and strap locations. It plugs directly into existing GM style connectors so no adapter harnesses or splices are required, cutting installation time significantly. Installers simply secure the unit in the stock strap mounts and connect to the factory wiring for a reliable electrical and plumbing link. That clean fit reduces troubleshooting and makes LS or LT conversions more accessible for technicians at all skill levels.
400 LPH Walbro Pump Performance for Forced Induction Engines
The included 400 LPH Walbro pump is sized to meet the demands of supercharged or turbocharged LS and LT powerplants producing over 550 hp. Its robust internals resist heat soak and maintain stable voltage under sustained high load, providing consistent fuel flow at full throttle. This capacity prevents lean conditions that can lead to detonation, while still offering headroom for future power upgrades. Drivers on track or street will value the secure delivery and extra margin built into the pump design.
American Made Hardware for Corrosion Resistance and Durability
All straps, gaskets, filler necks and vent filters in this fuel tank kit are manufactured in the United States to stringent standards for corrosion resistance and vibration tolerance. Stainless steel straps retain strength and resist rust even under constant chassis movement and exposure to the elements. Precision machined filler necks deliver a leak free seal, and fuel resistant gaskets withstand modern additives and temperature swings. The vent filter screens out debris before it reaches the pump, protecting the module and downstream components for reliable service.
