LS Fuel Tank Kit for 1978-1981 Chevy Camaro and 1979-1981 Pontiac Firebird
For any enthusiast tackling an LS swap into a Camaro from 1978 to 1981 or a Firebird from 1979 to 1981, securing a reliable fuel supply is the first step toward smooth operation. This 1978 to 1981 Camaro and 1979 to 1981 Firebird EFI Fuel Tank Kit with its 255 LPH pump addresses that need by fitting precisely in the F Body chassis while delivering up to 550 horsepower support. It includes all the tank straps, sending unit, vent filters and gaskets needed to match factory mounting points and clearances. With clear instructions covering every stage from removal to line connections, installers save time and avoid common fitment issues.
F Body Chassis Precision Fit
This fuel tank kit has been engineered to match the unique contours of 1978 to 1981 Camaro and 1979 to 1981 Firebird frames, ensuring a seamless installation without extra fabrication. Each tank and bracket is precisely machined to align with original mounting points and clearances, preserving suspension travel and exhaust routing. By holding tight tolerances, the assembly eliminates common fitment issues that can lead to leaks or interference during hard cornering. The result is a direct replacement that integrates modern EFI hardware without altering factory geometry, giving the vehicle both a stock appearance and reliable performance. Installers benefit from a solution designed specifically for the F Body platform, reducing trial and error during the swap process.
Walbro 255 Pump Delivers Stable Flow
At the core of the system is a genuine Walbro 255 module rated for up to 550 horsepower, known for its ability to maintain consistent flow under extreme conditions. Mounted inside the tank, the pump operates in a cooled environment that reduces the risk of cavitation and extends service life. Its internal design resists disruption from sustained lateral forces or heavy acceleration, ensuring fuel delivery stays uninterrupted on both street and track. Consistent pressure levels help the ECU maintain calibration accuracy and prevent lean conditions that can damage engine components. This dependable performance allows drivers to push an LS swap confidently through demanding driving scenarios.
EFI Integration Improves Efficiency and Response
Switching from a carburetor to electronic fuel injection unlocks precise fuel metering and cleaner combustion, and this kit’s in-tank module is ready to work with modern engine management systems. By pairing stable pressure output with rapid fuel rail feedback, the setup optimizes atomization across the rev range, smoothing throttle response and tightening transition points. Improved control over injector pulse width reduces wastage, which can translate into noticeable gains in fuel economy for street driving. The advanced EFI synergy also supports onboard diagnostics and adaptive tuning, giving technicians and enthusiasts straightforward tools for fine-tuning performance.
Comprehensive Tank Kit Simplifies Setup
This all-inclusive solution brings together every component needed for a professional installation into a single package. Beyond the pump and module, the kit provides a calibrated sending unit, heavy-duty tank straps, a precision-formed filler neck, vent filter elements, gaskets, and all hardware required to mate with factory fuel lines. Each piece is chosen to match original specifications, eliminating the hunt for compatible fittings or gasket sets. Detailed instructions guide installers through tank removal, module assembly, line hookup, and final testing, streamlining the process for both seasoned mechanics and first-time swappers. The result is a trouble-free conversion that saves hours of labor and minimizes the risk of missing parts during assembly.
