EFI Fuel Tank with 255 LPH Pump for LS Swaps 1978-1981 Camaro and 1979-1981 Firebird
Fitting an LS engine into a late 1970s Camaro or an early 1980s Firebird demands a steady fuel supply and this EFI Fuel Tank Kit with its 255 LPH pump is engineered to meet that challenge. Packaged for the F Body chassis, the assembly includes a genuine Walbro module, precision matched straps, vent filters and gaskets to support up to 550 horsepower without modification. Tank placement keeps the pump submerged for cooling and guards against cavitation under lateral loads while every component aligns with original mounting points to preserve suspension travel and maintain proper exhaust routing to prevent leaks or interference during aggressive driving. With detailed guidance on tank removal, module installation and line connections, installers can bypass common fitment pitfalls and finish the swap efficiently.
Chassis Matched Fuel Tank Design
The tank is engineered to follow the contour of the Camaro or Firebird frame rails in the F Body chassis to maintain factory ground clearance and avoid contact with suspension components during travel. By aligning precisely with original mounting points the assembly preserves exhaust routing and prevents interference when cornering. Tight manufacturing tolerances eliminate the need for trimming or reshaping the trunk pan to accept the unit. Locating the pump inside the tank body ensures it remains submerged under side acceleration and keeps it at a stable temperature. These design choices together create a seamless modern integration that respects the car's original suspension geometry and body fit.
Reliability of Walbro 255 Pump Inside Tank
At the center of this kit is a genuine Walbro 255 module rated for up to 550 horsepower that excels in maintaining steady flow under varied driving conditions. Immersed in liquid fuel the pump is cooled by the surrounding medium which reduces the risk of internal vapor formation and extends its service life. Its robust internal mechanism resists disruption from sustained cornering and heavy acceleration so fuel pressure stays consistent even during track driving. Reliable delivery helps the engine control unit maintain accurate injector timing and prevents lean conditions that could harm components. This level of performance makes the pump a dependable choice for both street and competition use.
All Inclusive Kit Eases LS Swap Process
This kit combines the fuel sender unit, mounting straps, filler neck, vent filters, gaskets and all required hardware into one package to remove the guesswork from parts sourcing. Each component matches factory specifications so installers can connect to the existing fuel lines and wiring without hunting down adapters or special fittings. Clear instructions cover tank removal, module installation and plumbing to guide both first time builders and veteran mechanics. With all parts included the risk of missing items is eliminated and labor time is reduced. The comprehensive nature of the kit ensures a smooth transition to electronic fuel injection for any LS conversion.
