1971-1972 Chevy El Camino LS and LT EFI Fuel Tank Kit
Installing an LS or LT engine in a 1971 through 1972 Chevy El Camino often reveals the stock tank's limits in flow and frame clearance and the 1971 through 1972 El Camino EFI Fuel Tank Kit 400 LPH Pump Notched resolves these challenges with precision. With its 400 LPH Walbro pump module this kit sustains pressure during high demand conditions well beyond 550 hp while the precision notch in the tank body clears exhaust piping and rear wheels on the A Body chassis. The combined pump and sending unit arrives pre assembled for direct plug in to GM style wiring and filler neck provisions eliminating custom splices adapters or metal trimming and accelerating installation. American made straps filler neck and gaskets are tested for corrosion resistance vibration tolerance and heat endurance to deliver dependable fuel supply during LS and LT engine conversions.
Proven Fuel Delivery for 550 plus Horsepower Applications
The 400 LPH Walbro pump at the heart of this kit is engineered to maintain a steady flow rate even when your LS or LT engine exceeds 550 plus horsepower. By resisting heat soak and voltage drop under sustained load, it ensures consistent fuel pressure during full throttle pulls and rapid acceleration events. This reliability is critical for turbocharged and supercharged setups where any interruption in supply can lead to lean conditions or detonation. Technicians appreciate how this pump's capacity also leaves headroom for future power upgrades, reducing the need for an early replacement. In demanding track or street applications, that margin of safety keeps your engine running at peak efficiency without risk of fuel starvation.
Precision Notch Ensuring Exhaust and Wheel Clearance
The tank's precision notch is cut to create the exact clearance needed for both exhaust pipe routing and rear tire travel on the A Body chassis. This contour prevents interference without any frame modification or sheet metal trimming, preserving the El Camino's original geometry and ride height. Installers simply drop the tank into place and secure it with factory strap locations, eliminating time-consuming fitment work. The notched profile also helps maintain suspension dynamics by keeping the tank body tucked safely away from moving components. As a result, you gain both peace of mind and preserved handling characteristics in one package.
Integrated In Tank Module for Streamlined Conversion
The combined pump and sending unit arrive as a fully assembled module that plugs directly into GM style wiring and fuel rails. This direct fit approach removes the need for custom adapters, multiple harness splices, or filler neck modifications. Alignment with stock strap mounts and neck provisions means there is no guesswork on positioning, so installation time is cut dramatically. Even first time engine swappers can complete fuel system plumbing and electrical connections without troubleshooting fit issues. The simplicity of this integrated design lets you focus on calibration and tuning rather than wrestling with components.
United States Built Hardware for Corrosion and Vibration Resistance
Every bracket, strap, gasket, and vent filter in this kit is manufactured in the United States and tested for corrosion resistance, vibration tolerance, and thermal endurance. Stainless steel tank straps resist rust in harsh road conditions and flex with chassis movement, while precision machined filler necks ensure a leak tight seal. High quality gaskets and mounting hardware are specified for long service life, reducing maintenance intervals and part replacements. Vent filters prevent debris from entering the tank, protecting the pump and fuel rails downstream. This domestic production pedigree provides confidence that each element will endure real world driving stresses for years to come.
