1970-1973 Camaro/Firebird LS Swap EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
If you’re swapping LS power into a 1970 through 1973 Camaro or Firebird F-body, the EFI Fuel Tank Kit with a 255 LPH pump solves the challenge of maintaining steady fuel pressure during aggressive acceleration and lateral loads. It installs directly into the factory tank location and retains original tank geometry and ride height without any cutting or trimming. Featuring a swirl pot design and a Walbro 255 LPH pump, the module prevents cavitation under hard cornering and supports up to 550 horsepower. Durable stainless steel straps and precision molded O ring seals deliver corrosion resistance and prevent leaks for dependable performance all season long.
Factory Geometry Preservation for 1970 to 1973 F Body Fuel Tank
This fuel tank kit faithfully replicates the original tank shape to ensure a precise drop in fit within 1970 to 1973 Camaro and Firebird chassis. By matching factory mounting points, it preserves ride height and ground clearance so the suspension and body lines remain unaltered. The design also maintains stock floor pan pathways for fuel lines and wiring, eliminating interference with exhaust or brake components. Installers benefit from a direct fit that requires no modification or trimming, reducing labor time and the risk of errors. Precision molding of the module housing prevents unwanted shifts or movement under load, keeping the pump steady throughout spirited driving.
Swirl Pot Mechanics with 255 LPH Walbro Pump
At the core of fuel delivery is a swirl pot arrangement that collects a small reservoir of gasoline around the pickup to prevent cavitation under high lateral G turns or hard launches. The Walbro 255 LPH pump sustains over 550 horsepower by providing a consistent flow rate and stable pressure under demanding conditions. This setup reduces fuel slosh and ensures a constant stream to the injector rails, delivering immediate throttle response from idle through redline. Drivers experience smoother transitions when shifting and minimal hesitation during rapid throttle changes. The swirl pot also helps purge air pockets, keeping the system primed even when the tank level is low.
Corrosion Guard with Stainless Straps and Precision Seals
Heavy gauge stainless steel straps secure the tank firmly to the chassis while resisting corrosion from road salt, moisture and chemical exposure. Each strap uses corrosion resistant hardware and locking washers to maintain torque under constant vibration, preventing loosening in harsh driving environments. Precision molded O ring seals at all module and filler neck junctions form a leak proof barrier that withstands thermal expansion cycles without degrading. This combination of materials extends service intervals by reducing the need for resealing or strap replacement. The robust assembly protects the pump module and sender unit from debris intrusion and ensures reliable operation season after season.
Comprehensive Kit Layout for Streamlined Installation
Every component needed for a complete LS swap fuel system is included in this kit to simplify assembly and eliminate backorders. The Walbro pump arrives preinstalled within the module, removing alignment guesswork and reducing assembly steps during installation. A high quality sending unit integrates seamlessly with factory gauges so fuel level readings remain accurate without additional calibration. The package also supplies a filler neck, vent filter, gaskets and all mounting hardware, backed by detailed instructions that outline torque settings and hose routing. Builders appreciate the organized kit format that cuts install time and lets them move quickly to fuel calibration and engine tuning.
