1978-1981 Chevy Camaro/1979-1981 Pontiac Firebird LS EFI Fuel Tank Kit with 255 LPH Pump
Tackling an LS conversion in a Chevy Camaro from 1978 to 1981 or a Pontiac Firebird from 1979 to 1981 starts with securing a stable fuel supply and this EFI Fuel Tank Kit featuring a 255 LPH pump maintains the pressure needed for up to 550 horsepower applications. The tank's shape fits the contours of the F Body chassis to preserve factory ground clearance and line up with original mounting points for hassle free installation and proper exhaust routing. Internal pump placement keeps it submerged during cornering and at an even temperature to prevent cavitation under lateral load. Clear instructions combined with precision cut straps, vent filters and gasket seals remove guesswork and help both first timers and seasoned technicians complete the swap efficiently.
Chassis Matched Tank Geometry
The fuel tank is shaped to follow the F-Body frame rails of the 1978-1981 Camaro and 1979–1981 Firebird, preserving the factory ground clearance and original mounting points. This contour ensures the unit slips into place without trimming the trunk pan or altering suspension travel. By aligning precisely with the stock supports, the tank maintains proper exhaust routing and avoids contact with brake lines or shock mounts. The overall design respects the car's original dimensions while providing modern EFI capability.
Submerged Walbro Pump Cooling
At the heart of the assembly sits a genuine Walbro 255 LPH pump that remains fully immersed in fuel to ensure constant cooling and reliable operation under cornering loads. Immersion in the tank body prevents vapor locks by keeping the pump at a stable temperature and guarding against internal cavitation. The module's robust internal mechanism delivers consistent flow for engines up to 550 horsepower, even during sustained acceleration. This approach extends service life and sustains steady pressure for precise injector control.
EFI Integration for Swift Engine Response
Incorporating an EFI-ready tank module elevates fuel delivery precision and promotes smoother throttle response across every driving condition. The in-tank configuration supports advanced engine management systems by supplying a uniform fuel feed, contributing to tighter fuel trims and improved drivability. Enhanced injector timing accuracy reduces the risk of lean spikes under load, while the continuous supply allows the control unit to maintain optimal air-fuel ratios. Drivers gain enhanced efficiency and a more consistent idle character.
All Inclusive Kit for Fast Installation
This comprehensive package includes the 255 LPH pump, sending unit, filler neck, straps, vent filter, gaskets and all required hardware, so installers avoid time lost sourcing parts. Precision-cut mounting straps and factory-matched fittings guarantee a direct-fit setup that mates cleanly with existing fuel lines and wiring. A clear instruction guide walks through tank removal, module assembly and plumbing connections to help both novices and pros finish the swap without last-minute trips to the parts store. The result is a streamlined conversion that minimizes shop time and maximizes reliability.
Engineered for consistent pressure under load this kit helps maintain steady performance. To support higher output builds consider our 1978-1981 Camaro / 1979-1981 Firebird EFI Fuel Tank Kit - 400 LPH Pump as a larger capacity fuel pump Kit at 400 LPH.
