1971-1972 Chevy El Camino LS and LT EFI Fuel Tank Kit
When fitting an LS or LT engine into a 1971 through 1972 Chevy El Camino, the stock fuel tank often falls short on flow rate and chassis clearance. This EFI Fuel Tank Kit with a 400 LPH Walbro pump and precision notched tank body solves exhaust routing and rear wheel interference while maintaining consistent fuel delivery under heavy load. With plug in compatibility for GM wiring and a pre assembled sending unit, the installation on the A Body frame avoids splices and filler neck trimming. Materials including stainless steel straps and American made gaskets are chosen for corrosion resistance and vibration tolerance to ensure dependable performance during forced induction or 550 plus horsepower runs.
400 LPH Walbro Pump Capacity for 550+ HP Engines
The 400 LPH Walbro pump at the core of this kit sustains a high volume of fuel flow even when your LS or LT engine surpasses 550 horsepower. Rated to resist heat soak and voltage drop under sustained demand, it maintains consistent delivery during aggressive acceleration and full throttle runs. This margin prevents lean conditions and protects against detonation in forced induction setups such as turbochargers and superchargers. By providing headroom for future power upgrades, it reduces the need for an early pump change. Technicians appreciate its durable design, which supports both track and street use without compromise.
Precision Notch Design for Exhaust and Wheel Clearance
The custom notch in the tank body is engineered to clear exhaust routing and rear tire travel on the A Body chassis without modifying the frame or trimming sheet metal. Its exact contour preserves suspension geometry and ride height while keeping the tank away from moving components. Installers simply lower the unit into factory strap positions and secure it, eliminating time intensive fitment work. The notched profile also helps maintain even weight distribution under load, ensuring handling remains predictable and there is no risk of contact during hard cornering or heavy acceleration.
Integrated In Tank Module for Streamlined LS LT Installations
This kit's fully assembled pump and sending unit module plugs directly into existing GM style wiring and fuel rails, removing the need for adapter harnesses or filler neck modifications. Alignment with stock strap mounts and neck provisions ensures the tank seats precisely and securely on the chassis. Even those new to engine swaps can complete fuel system plumbing and electrical connections without troubleshooting fit issues. The clean integration reduces installation time by eliminating splices, adapters, and guesswork, letting you focus on calibration rather than component compatibility.
American Made Hardware for Vibration and Corrosion Resistance
All metal straps, vent filters, gaskets, and mounting hardware in this kit are manufactured in the United States to rigorous standards for corrosion tolerance and vibration endurance. Stainless steel tank straps resist rust and flex with chassis movement, while precision machined filler necks ensure a leak free seal. High quality gaskets are formulated to withstand fuel additives, temperature swings, and constant motion. Vent filters keep debris out of the system, protecting the pump and fuel rails downstream. This domestic production pedigree delivers robust performance and extended service life in demanding environments.
