1978-1981 Camaro/1979-1981 Firebird LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255LPH Pump
Installing an LS powerplant in a 1978-1981 Camaro or 1979-1981 Firebird often hinges on a dependable fuel delivery setup and this EFI fuel tank kit with its 255 LPH pump provides just that. Packed with a Walbro 255 LPH module, it supports engines up to 550 horsepower while avoiding common fuel starvation issues under race or street conditions. Components such as direct-fit tank straps, a sending unit, vent filters and gaskets are all included for a streamlined setup in your F-Body chassis. Detailed instructions guide both seasoned mechanics and novices through each step for a professional result.
Precision Fit Design for LS Engine Conversions
This fuel tank kit is engineered around the specific contours of 1978-1981 Camaro and 1979-1981 Firebird frames to accept LS engines without extra fabrication. Each component is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring the tank assembly sits exactly where the original unit did while accommodating modern EFI hardware. By matching factory mounting points and clearances, the kit eliminates misalignment issues that can lead to fuel leaks or clearance conflicts with suspension and exhaust. The result is a seamless integration that preserves chassis geometry and delivers a professional finish.
Walbro 255 LPH Pump Ensuring Reliable Fuel Delivery
At the core of this system is a genuine Walbro 255 LPH pump, capable of supporting up to 550 horsepower in street or track applications. Its design delivers a consistent flow rate even under heavy lateral g forces or sustained high engine loads, preventing fuel starvation during hard acceleration or cornering. The in-tank placement reduces cavitation risk and keeps the pump cool, extending service life and maintaining stable pressure. With this module, drivers can count on repeatable performance from the first lap to the last.
EFI Integration Optimizes Fuel Economy and Engine Response
Moving from a carbureted setup to electronic fuel injection brings marked gains in throttle precision and combustion control. This kit's EFI-ready tank module pairs with modern engine management systems to meter fuel deliveries down to the millisecond, reducing waste and smoothing out power delivery across the rpm range. Improved atomization and consistent pressure also translate to cleaner burns, which can lead to measurable efficiency gains on both street and strip. Drivers notice crisper throttle response and steadier idle as the ECU adapts to real-time engine demands.
Comprehensive Hardware Suite Simplifies Installation
Everything required for a straightforward swap is packed into one box: pump module, sending unit, tank straps, filler neck, vent filter, gaskets, and all installation hardware. Each clip, gasket, and fastener has been chosen to mate directly with F-Body chassis and original mounting points, eliminating the need for aftermarket modifications. Clear, step-by-step instructions guide both seasoned mechanics and first-time installers through every stage of the process, from tank removal to final fuel line connections. This all-in-one approach cuts install time and reduces the risk of missing critical components.
